This disease does not show symptoms until it gets advanced. The symptoms could be lack of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness. Due to abnormal protein build-up in organs and tissues, most of them can be affected including heart, kidney, livers, skin, etc. Amyloidosis can affect those organs and leads to cardiomyopathy, liver damage, and nephrotic syndrome.
