Nomenclature of amyloid.

Precursor Protein	Abbreviation	Clinical
Immunoglobulin protein	AL	Light chain amyloid
	AH	Heavy chain amyloid
	AL	Myeloma or macroglobulinemia (this is not secondary amyloid)
	AL	Localized bladder and bronchus
Amyloid A protein	AA	Secondary to infection, renal cell cancer and familial in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF)
Transthyretin	ATTR	Native transthyretin (TTR) in senile systemic amyloidosis, mutant in familial amyloidosis
Fibrinogen Aα	AFib	Hereditary renal amyloid
Apolipoprotein A	A Apo I	Cardiomyopathy neuropathy
Beta 2 microglobulin	Aβ2 M	Dialysis amyloid
