Chen Peng, hematology specialist of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine: If it is difficult to treat in the North Hospital, it is difficult to see the difficulty. Amyloidosis is a plasma cell disease, similar to multiple myeloma. Chen Peng, Specialist in Hematology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine So, many medical experts believe that the treatment of polymorphic myeloma can be applied to the treatment of amyloidosis. Chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation are commonly used methods, in addition to the effective methods for myeloma (e.g., thalidomide and vanco) can be tried, especially vanco, because it is a new drug, which is given high expectations, and both domestic and foreign countries have used vanco for the treatment of amyloidosis with successful examples, but the number of them is not large, and it is still an exploratory stage. However, it is not an option when there is no other method. In addition, it is also worthwhile to try whether arsenious acid can treat amyloidosis. It should be noted, however, that the above opinions, all of which are premature, carry the risk of being unsuccessful and of having more side effects than expected, and that by choosing these methods, one must be willing to take these risks. Patient: description of the disease (onset time, main symptoms, hospitalization, etc.):

Patient male, 54 years old, previously in good health, recently returned from a trip to both legs swollen, originally thought to be nephrotic syndrome, in the Beida Hospital was found to be amyloidosis, the choice of the program is chemotherapy + its own bone marrow transplantation. But after pumping stem cells abdominal swelling, abdominal pain is very strong, but also under the notice of serious illness, initially thought to be inflammation or intestinal infarction, and now did not find out the specific cause. The doctor here does not dare to transplant, said to keep a period of time and then see, but the family is afraid of delaying treatment.

I wonder if the doctor has any treatment?
