Abstract Introduction: A systematic literature review on systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis was conducted in order to understand the disease burden, and identify unmet medical needs and knowledge gaps. Methods: MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched for English language studies published in the last 10 years using search terms that focused on the clinical, economic, and patient-reported outcome (PRO) aspects of AL amyloidosis. There was a low yield of articles in the economic…
