Does Amyloidosis Cause Weight Gain? Read Article...
A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member

It can. In my case I was retaining fluid, resulting in edema that put pressure on my heart. My team initially sent me to hospital for IV Lasix that knocked off some 40 pounds. Since then I’ve been on Torsemide to keep water weight down. In total I’ve lost over 80 pounds!
