A member asked:

What can i do if my grandmother has been diagnosed with amyloidosis in the liver, is it be genetic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Amyloidosis: There are many different types of amyloidosis so it is impossible to know if this is genetic based on this question. There are genetic amyloidoses but there also also types of amyloidosis related to cancer, infections and inflammation.
