Primary Care Physician
A primary care physician is usually your first stop for nonemergency care. They’re often the first to spot potential “red flag” symptoms that might suggest amyloidosis. They coordinate your care by referring you to specialists when needed and stay involved even after specialist visits begin.
Doctors who treat amyloidosis
Hematologist
Hematologists are doctors who specialize in blood disorders. In the most common form of amyloidosis, amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, your body produces abnormal plasma cells. Because these cells are part of your blood, one of your specialists might be a hematologist. If you have AL amyloidosis, your hematologist might lead your treatment.
Doctors who treat amyloidosis
Cardiologist
Cardiologists specialize in treating various heart conditions. They may use imaging scans to assess how well your heart functions and prescribe medications to address cardiac symptoms. They might lead the treatment team if you have a type of amyloidosis that particularly targets the heart (like cardiac amyloidosis).

Nephrologist
Nephrologists specialize in diagnosing and treating kidney conditions. Kidney damage from amyloidosis occurs when amyloids build up in and eventually damage the kidneys. If you have amyloidosis, your nephrologist can help manage kidney-related symptoms, slow the progression of kidney damage, and determine if advanced treatments (like dialysis or kidney transplant) may be needed.

Neurologist
Neurologists focus on brain and nervous system disorders. Some forms of amyloidosis affect the nerves, causing numbness, pain, burning sensations, or weakness in the hands and feet. A neurologist can help you handle these symptoms.

Gastroenterologist
Gastroenterologists specialize in conditions that affect the digestive system. In amyloidosis, abnormal proteins can build up in the layers of the gastrointestinal tract and the liver. This could make it more difficult to process food and beverages. A gastroenterologist can help you make the best dietary decisions for your condition and see if further treatments (like medications or surgery) are needed.
