Description
Light micrograph section through a section of human tissue with amyloidosis. This is a rare disease that occurs when an abnormal protein called amyloid, builds up in the organs and interferes with their normal function. Organs that may be affected include the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract. Amyloid isn't normally found in the body, but can be formed from several different types of protein.
