We report high rates of cranial and peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome and autonomic dysfunction in patients with systemic AGel amyloidosis. The awareness of these features will enable earlier diagnosis and timely screening for end-organ dysfunction. The characterisation of pathophysiology will assist the development of therapeutic options in AGel amyloidosis.
