The deposition of amyloid fibers at the peripheral nervous system can induce motor neuropathy in Familial Amiloidotic Polyneuropethy (FAP) patients. This produces progressive reductions in functional capacity. The only treatment for FAP is a liver transplant, followed by aggressive medication that can affect patients' metabolism. To our knowledge, there are no data on body fat distribution or comparison between...
Liver transplantation is the unique treatment for several end-stage diseases. Familial Amiloidotic Polineuropathy (FAP) is a neurodegenerative disease related with systemic deposition of amyloidal fiber mainly on peripheral nervous system, clinically translated by an autonomous sensitive-motor neuropathy with severe functional limitations in some cases. The unique treatment for FAP disease is a liver transplant...
PAF–Doença neurodegenerativa relacionada com a produção hepática de Transtirretina met30 e respectiva deposição sistémica principalmente no sistema nervoso periférico, que se traduz clinicamente por uma neuropatia sensitivo-motora de início periférico e com graves limitações funcionais em alguns casos. Actualmente, o único tratamento conhecido para a PAF é o transplante hepático com medicação agressiva para o m...
