Amyloidosis – Diagnosis & Treatment

Urine and Blood Tests

Different blood and urine tests could be helpful in determining and verifying the organs involved in amyloidosis. Your doctor would ask for a 24-hour urine collection to check for the level of proteins in the sample. An excess amount would indicate some problems with your kidneys which can be caused by amyloidosis. Some blood tests can help identify strain and stress on your heart. In addition, the level of alkaline phosphatase or ALP can bring some great details to your conditions. All of these tests can be done quickly and safely to diagnose the condition precisely. [2]
