Increased amyloid indicates that the organism may have infectious diseases, etc., such as rheumatoid arthritis, leprosy or tuberculosis, viral infections and so on.
Amyloid is a protein secreted by the liver, with a normal value of <10mg/L. Clinical application of amyloid is the same as C-reactive protein, which is mainly used to assess the body's acute response phase.
If the body is infected with bacteria, viruses or mycoplasma, and the body is in a state of stress, the synthesis of amyloid by the liver may increase; if the patient has rheumatoid arthritis, leprosy, and tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases, it is also possible to cause chronic elevation of amyloid.
Amyloid elevation can not be used to clarify the diagnosis of the disease, the patient's specific diagnosis needs to be confirmed through a variety of tests, after the emergence of symptoms, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital in a timely manner according to the patient's specific situation for analysis and treatment.
