Living with AL Amyloidosis

Living with AL Amyloidosis

I have AL amyloidosis with multiple organ involvement. Plasma cells in my bone marrow over produce light chain proteins which misfold to form amyloid light chains. These misfolded proteins have built up in my heart, liver, and kidneys, causing them to slowly fail. AL Amyloidosis is a rare and life threatening blood disorder for which there is no cure.
