Yes, this can be normal. While AL amyloidosis often involves the bone marrow, amyloid deposits can appear in different organs, including the lungs and lymph nodes, without showing up in bone marrow tests. People with amyloidosis can have deposits concentrated in specific organs while other areas remain unaffected. Your healthcare team may want to conduct additional tests to better understand how your organs are functioning and to check for any other areas where amyloid proteins might be present. Imaging tests like ultrasounds can help visualize any abnormalities and provide a clearer picture of how your organs are working.
