| 4de Multidisciplinair Symposium Systemische Amyloïdose | April 14 2023 | Systemic amyloidoses are complex diseases in several areas. Besides the rarity, the diagnosis is complicated and specialized. Various types of precursor proteins, such as free light chains or transthyretin, can form amyloid fibrils that affect various organs to varying degrees. The treatment options are increasing rapidly. All these aspects will be addressed in the symposium. As in previous editions, an international expert will provide an overview and we will discuss the latest developments. In separate question sessions with experts from different specialisms, the participants can bring in case histories and ask questions about various topics. |
