IMS 2024 | Key challenges that remain in the diagnosis of AL amyloidosis

In this video, Eyal Lebel, MD, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel, discusses the challenges in diagnosing light chain (AL) amyloidosis, emphasizing that it remains a rare and often underdiagnosed condition. Dr Lebel highlights the importance of raising awareness among various specialties, including family physicians, nephrologists, and cardiologists, as AL amyloidosis presents with multisystem involvement and symptoms that can easily be misattributed to other conditions. This interview took place at the 21st International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
