Diagnosing amyloidosis: identifying early signs, appropriate diagnostic tests, and challenges that remain

In this episode of the VJHemOnc podcast, we are joined by Morie Gertz, MD, MACP, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, a leading expert in the field, to discuss the complexities surrounding the diagnosis of amyloidosis, including both the light chain and ATTR subtypes.

The conversation covers early clinical signs that clinicians often overlook, key differences in presentation between subtypes, recommendations for initial diagnostic work-up, and the barriers that often delay timely diagnosis.
