Our amyloidosis program is focused on providing complete care for you and your loved one. Amyloidosis is a rare disease and can affect multiple organs. We work with other clinical departments to ensure that you receive the best care possible. Some of those specialists treat conditions affecting the following:

• Blood
• Heart
• Stomach
• Liver
• Kidneys
• Brain
• Autonomic nervous system

Since amyloidosis can affect multiple organs, you may have appointments in various clinics at Vanderbilt. You can rest assured that you will have your appointments in at least 2 days if you have to visit various clinics.

If you are traveling to Vanderbilt and do not live in the Nashville area, we can help you with lodging and transportation during your stay.

Possible Treatment Options

• Stem cell transplant (Stem cell transplants are also used to treat cancer, but amyloidosis is not a cancerous disease.)
• Organ transplant
