Deaths from Amyloidosis

Survival rate statistics for Amyloidosis: The following are statistics from various sources about the survival rate for Amyloidosis:

1 year is the median survival rate for patients who have a liver biopsy to treat amyloidosis in the US (Amyloidosis: Recognition, Prognosis and Conventional Therapy, American Society of Hematology)
Symptomatic congestive heart failure has a median survival of 4 to 6 months in the US (Amyloidosis: Recognition, Prognosis and Conventional Therapy, American Society of Hematology)
8 months is the median survival for amyloidosis patients from the onset of myelodysplasia in the US (Amyloidosis: Recognition, Prognosis and Conventional Therapy, American Society of Hematology)
Amyloid patients with cardiac involvement who undergo heart transplant have a 100% 1 year survival rate in the US (Amyloidosis: Recognition, Prognosis and Conventional Therapy, American Society of Hematology)
Amyloid patients with cardiac involvement who undergo heart transplant have a 83.3% 2 year survival rate in the US (Amyloidosis: Recognition, Prognosis and Conventional Therapy, American Society of Hematology)
The five year survival rate for secondary AA Amyloidosis is about 50% in the US (Amloidosis Support Network)
The 1 year survival rate for patients with primary systemic amyloidosis who undergo peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is 89% (Blood. 2004;103:3960-3963, The American Society of Hematology)
The 1 year survival rate for patients with primary systemic amyloidosis who don’t undergo peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is 55% (Blood. 2004;103:3960-3963, The American Society of Hematology)

Death statistics for Amyloidosis: The following are statistics from various sources about deaths and Amyloidosis:

35% of deaths from secondary AA amyloidosis is due to end-stage renal failure resulting from untreated secondary AA amyloidosis n the US (Amyloidosis Support Network)
