Hi @catalpa, Blood and urine tests can help detect signs of amyloidosis. But from my understanding, a tissue biopsy or bone marrow biopsy is the only way to confirm a diagnosis by showing whether or not there is evidence of the abnormal protein collecting in the tissue.

Has your doctor suggested a bone marrow biopsy?
