That's interesting. I've got a kidney infection at the moment, are you suggesting that I have amyloid plaques in my brain?

- nonbel 8y agoWell pretty much everyone does have some amyloid plaques in their brain but I mean that there is a higher level of amyloid in your kidney now than before you had the infection.
- nonbel 8y agoWikipedia has a bit on it: >"Amyloidosis is a group of diseases in which abnormal protein, known as amyloid fibrils, builds up in tissue. [...] The presentation of amyloidosis is broad and depends on the site of amyloid accumulation. The kidney and heart are the most common organs involved. [...] AA is suspected on clinical grounds in individuals with longstanding infections or inflammatory diseases." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloidosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloidosis
