@shookercooker , I just happened upon this group. I was diagnosed with AAPO AIV amyloidosis in 2021 through biopsy after having a partial nephrectomy on left kidney due to renal cell carcinoma. I knew something wasn’t quite right after surgery, however, was shocked and scared to get this diagnosis . It affects my kidneys, duodenum, and nervous system. My heart hasn’t been affected, although I have cardiac issues. The frustrating part of this disease is that I don’t know any more about it today than I did 5 years ago! There is little to no information on this particular for of amyloidosis.

You are right about the little information.
Here is some information, if you don't know it already:
