A diagnosis of Bronchiectasis and needing to better understand it. I’ve read a lot deal about it. My family doctor unfortunately knew very little. I follow precautions, have all required vaccines and use an airway clearance method called Aerobika. Also, hearing about how other people live and manage with it is helpful. Thanks.

Sue-
Could not find anything or any area of the Blog that talks about AA (secondary) amyloidosis.
I have read it is characterized by a protein called "serum amyloid A." This protein is produced by the body in response to inflammation or infection.
Are you familiar with this. It apparently can be related to Bronchiectasis.
Related to water input and urininary output all related to the kidneys/kidney disease, the heart, edema, if I understood all correctly.
