Systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare and potentially fatal disease characterized by the abnormal deposition of homogeneous, amorphous amyloid proteins in tissues and organs. This deposition leads to varying degrees of structural and functional abnormalities, ultimately causing organ dysfunction and failure. The disease often involves multiple systems and organs, including the heart, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and nervous system, with cardiac and renal involvement being the most common. Due to its rarity, multisystem involvement, and rapid progression, a comprehensive summary of the diagnosis and treatment of AL amyloidosis is crucial for guiding clinical practice and advancing research in this field. This article reviews the progress in diagnosis and discusses future treatment of AL amyloidosis, aiming to provide expanded options for clinical practice.
