Haemodialysis-associated amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis associated with chronic renal failure.^[1]

Presentation

Long term haemodialysis results in a gradual accumulation of β₂ microglobulin, a serum protein, in the blood. It accumulates because it is unable to cross the dialysis filter.

Prevention

Low copper dialysis is theorized to prevent or delay onset.^[2]
