Corneal confocal microscopy to detect early immune‐mediated small nerve fibre loss in AL amyloidosis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/acn3.51565
Abstract: Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a life‐threatening disorder characterised by extracellular deposition of amyloid leading to dysfunction of multiple organs. Peripheral nerve involvement, particularly small fibre neuropathy, may be associated with poorer survival. Corneal confocal… read more here.
