I had a kidney biopsy after abnormal urine tests, but completely normal x rays and ultrasound.

I live in a small town that not anyone has heard of Amylodosis before. I went to a heart and lung doctor for over a year trying to find out what was wrong with me. I finally went to a kensiologist in Texarkana. He saved life. He told me I needed to go to a doctor in Houston or Dallas that could figure out what I needed. Thank God he did because my son and I drove down to Houston and it was maybe one day until I really could not do a thing. I had been put in the hospital and from that moment on I was truly sick. I got down to about 98 pounds. i guess within three days they figured out what was wrong with me.

For me it was a small intestine biopsy along with light chain assay.
