Primary amyloidosis: The amyloid consists of immunoglobulin light chains (AL) which are overproduced in plasma cell disorders.
Secondary amyloidosis: The amyloid consists of amyloid fibrillary protein (AA) formed from serum amyloid protein (SAA), which is overproduced in chronic inflammatory conditions
Familial (hereditary) amyloidosis: The amyloid consists of abnormal transthyretin protein (ATTR) produced in the liver
Hemodialysis amyloidosis: The amyloid consists of beta-2-microglobulin which is normally cleared by the kidney, but cannot be cleared by hemodialysis
Localized amyloidosis: associated with hormonal proteins or aging such as beta amyloid proteins in Alzheimer's disease
