Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Targeted drug therapy with dose adjustment
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
TTR protein stabilizers
Medications such as tafamidis or diflunisal stabilize the transthyretin protein to prevent misfolding and amyloid formation in hereditary ATTR amyloidosis.
Liver transplantation
Surgical removal of the liver for patients with Val30Met mutations, as the liver is the primary source of mutant transthyretin production.
Additional treatment options
Gene silencing therapies
RNA interference drugs like patisiran or antisense oligonucleotides like inotersen reduce production of mutant transthyretin at the genetic level.
medicationCardiac and neurological monitoring
Regular echocardiograms, nerve conduction studies, and biomarker tracking to assess disease progression and treatment response.
monitoringAutonomic symptom management
Structured lifestyle adaptations including compression stockings, dietary sodium control, and activity pacing to manage orthostatic hypotension and autonomic dysfunction.
lifestyleWhen to seek medical help
