Yes, frequent urination — especially at night — can be a symptom of hATTR amyloidosis. This is often linked to kidney involvement, where amyloid deposits affect how well the kidneys function.

When the kidneys are impacted, several signs may appear, including:

- Frequent urination, particularly at night
- Foamy urine (which can signal protein leaking into urine)
- Loss of appetite
- Dry or itchy skin
- Swelling (edema)
- Muscle cramps
- Fatigue

It's worth noting that kidney-related symptoms can sometimes also disrupt sleep, creating a cycle of nighttime bathroom trips and poor rest. If frequent urination is something being experienced, it's really important to bring it up with a doctor. They can check kidney function and determine whether it's related to amyloidosis progression. Catching and managing kidney involvement early can make a meaningful difference.
