- About 1 in 5 people live 10+ Show Full Answer
Survival with amyloidosis varies quite a bit depending on the type and whether treatment is involved. Here's a breakdown by type:
AL Amyloidosis
- Without modern treatment (1980s): median survival was about 1.4 years
- With newer treatments (2010s): median survival improved to about 4.6 years
- About 1 in 5 people live 10+ years with current treatments
hATTR Amyloidosis
- Without treatment: median survival was about 4.7 years
- With tafamidis (early-onset, diagnosed before 50): 91% less likely to die during study period
- With tafamidis (late-onset, diagnosed at 50+): 82% lower risk of death
- Many people today live over a decade after diagnosis with treatment
Wild-Type Amyloidosis
- With tafamidis: about 52.4% were still alive after 5.5 years
- Nearly 80% of those diagnosed at 80+ lived more than 18 months
AA Amyloidosis
- With early and effective treatment: many live more than 10 years
- In advanced stages without good control: about half survive one year or more It's really important to remember these are averages — individual outcomes can differ based on stage at diagnosis, organ involvement, age, and how well treatment is working. A conversation with your care team will give the clearest picture for your specific situation.
