A scant amount of AAPOA IV was found in my kidney. Is there a way to see just how much is in my body and is this considered a primary type or a hereditary. Would there be a different treatment regarding.

This is one of the newest type of amyloid described. it is not considered primary amyloidosis with is the old name for AL amyloidosis. Not enough cases have been described to know if it is hereditary. Currently, there is no way to determine the amount of amyloid in a person’ body in this country.
