We are a small, growing charity run by and for amyloidosis patients. We aim to bring the amyloidosis community together and to provide information and support to anyone living in the UK who is affected by amyloidosis. https://amyloidosisuk.org/community/
Here’s one we meant to post earlier but better late than never!

Our trustees Paul & Ben were at The British Society for Heart Failure's Annual Meeting in London on 21 November, representing the #amyloidosis community ❤

When we talk about #Amyloidosis, some types are so rare that even doctors may not know them. Yet, they deeply impact those affected.

ALECT2
AGel (Gelsolin)
AFib (Fibrinogen)
ALect2

These rare forms exist but remain underdiagnosed. More awareness means better care.
