Several tests can help diagnose amyloidosis:

- Blood Tests: No single blood test can definitively diagnose amyloidosis, but they can help point doctors toward a diagnosis. Tests include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Determines levels of different blood cells.
- Serum Protein Electrophoresis: Detects abnormal proteins.

- Urine Tests: Can detect amyloid deposits.

- Biopsies: Tissue samples from organs like the heart or abdominal fat can confirm amyloidosis.

- Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, MRI, X-rays, CT scans, and nuclear imaging tests can detect organ damage.
