在尸检时发现的老年性心脏淀粉状蛋白通常被认为一种意外的发现。然而,在尸检材料的免疫组织化学研究中,三种截然不同形式的老年性心血管淀粉状蛋白已被确定性质,包括一种弥漫性浸润心室的心血管系统的淀粉状蛋白形式。系统的淀粉状蛋白形式可用抗人前白蛋白抗血清从免疫组织化学上来鉴定。 Senile cardiac amyloid found on autopsy is often considered an unexpected finding. However, in immunohistochemical studies of autopsy material, three distinct forms of senile cardiovascular amyloid have been identified, including an amyloid form of the cardiovascular system diffusely infiltrating the ventricles. The systemic amyloid form can be identified immunohistochemically using anti-human prealbumin antiserum.
