Not sure why this happened, but doctor says i have amyloidosis. am trying to figure out what it is before i tell my boss.?

Protein deposition: Amyloidosis refers to the deposition of specific proteins (amyloid) into organs and tissues. There are different types of amyloidosis (hereditary, infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic, age-related) and the prognosis and therapy is dependent on the cause of your amyloidosis.

Abnormal protein: Amyloidosis is accumulation of abnormal protein in tissues. It can be due to many causes, e.g., chronic inflammation, multiple myeloma, genetic predisposition, and in some cases without a known cause. It is a serious, though not acute, illness and can affect many organs like kidney, liver, heart etc. You should consult your doctor before talking to your boss.
