Amyloidosis staging involves determining how advanced the disease is and which organs are affected. Here are key points from my knowledge base:

- Types of Amyloidosis: The type of amyloidosis determines the staging method. For example, AL (light-chain) amyloidosis is staged differently from other types.

- Staging Systems for AL Amyloidosis:
- Mayo Clinic Staging System: Uses biomarkers to assess heart damage.
- NT-proBNP: Indicates heart pressure changes.
- Cardiac Troponin T: Measures heart muscle damage.
- Kidney Staging: Focuses on kidney damage and the likelihood of needing dialysis.

- Tests and Biomarkers: Blood and urine tests measure biomarkers to determine the stage.

- Organ Damage: Staging can describe the severity of damage to organs like the heart and kidneys.
