Mission
The early recognition and treatment of amyloidosis in order to minimise the effects of decline in health. Our focus is therefore on the improvement of diagnosis and the treatment of patients with amyloidosis. In addition, we offer information to patients, physicians and other individuals involved.
Who we are
The Groningen Amyloidosis Center of Expertise is a collaboration of various disciplines at the University Medical Center Groningen, engaged in diagnosis and treatment of systemic and localised amyloidosis. The department of Internal Medicine has a coordinating role.
