I was diagnosed with laryngeal AL amyloidosis. I started getting carpal tunnel. My blood tests showed it is local. So why do I have carpal tunnel? What tests should be done to determine if is local?

If you have surgery for the carpel tunnel, make sure they test it for amyloid. Otherwise, the testing is the same for AL amyloidosis, serum free light chain, serum protein electrophoresis, urine protein, serum creatinine, troponin and NTproBNP.
