Kappa Eta Chapter of the NJCU Nursing Department would like to invite you to a Lunch and Learn Session on the Rare Disease of Amyloidosis. This disease occurs when the amyloid protein builds up and can affect the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system, soft tissue, muscle and digestive tract. There are many different types of amyloidosis in which some occur with other diseases and improve with treatment, yet other types may lead to life-threatening organ failure. Treatments may include chemotherapy or pharmaceuticals that work to reduce amyloid production and manage symptoms.
Guest Speakers: Dr. Sai Jambunathan (NJCU Faculty) Mike Lane a patient with ATTR Amyloidosis. and Dr. Pallavi Solanki, Cardiologist.
Hope you can make it! Kappa Eta Chapter.
