In the UAE, AA amyloidosis may be more common due to chronic infections and familial fever syndromes in the region.. Gulf regional data suggests Similar to global rates with variations based on prevalence of chronic inflammatory conditions..

Typically affects adults over 50. AL amyloidosis often associated with plasma cell dyscrasias. AA amyloidosis secondary to chronic inflammatory conditions.

TTR mutations (V122I, V30M) cause hereditary amyloidosis. MEFV mutations cause familial Mediterranean fever with AA amyloidosis.

Control chronic inflammation. Screen for myeloma. Secondary prevention includes regular monitoring and early intervention.
