Several MyAmyloidosisTeam members have discussed CAA, with some asking questions like "Can amyloid protein spread to your brain?" and sharing their experiences with brain-related amyloidosis. CAA requires ongoing monitoring and follow-up care. While there's currently no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and reducing cerebral hemorrhaging. Doctors can diagnose CAA through:
• Tissue biopsies
• CT and MRI scans to check for hemorrhages
• PET scans to look for amyloid beta deposits
