Amyloidosis is not a specific disease but a group of diseases characterized by an accumulation of protein deposits. Normally, blood cells produce antibodies to either protect against infection or fight disease. Once they have achieved their mission, these proteins, or amyloids, are broken down and recycled. In some cases, though, an overproduction of proteins occurs and they start to build up outside the cells. These buildups can cause problems in various organs or systems anywhere in the body.
