In general, amyloidosis is a lifelong condition that can not be reversed or cured. If you are related to another disease, treatment is focused on curing the disease to prevent further damage.

Secondary amyloidosis can only be avoided by prevention or rapid treatment of inflammatory disease that can lead to amyloidosis, such as tuberculosis or rheumatoid arthritis. If rheumatoid arthritis is kept under control with medication, reduces the chance of developing amyloidosis.
