The vitamin deficiency that causes amyloidosis is vitamin A which has been linked to wild type amyloidosis.
Also vitamin D deficiency, vitamin C deficiency and even vitamin B12 deficiency can cause amyloidosis.
Vitamin D deficiency is common in people with renal AL amyloidosis.
And vitamin C deficiency can accelerate amyloid accumulation and deposition.
And vitamin B12 deficiency can influence amyloid beta toxicity in Alzheimer's disease, most particularly in the context of hyperhomocysteinemai.
Vitamin B12 deficiency and Amyloid beta beta Toxicity is linked an increased oxidative stress and can accelerate amyloid accumulation and deposition.
A deficiency of vitamin C can result in increased oxidative stress and can accelerate amyloid accumulation and deposition.
Vitamin C plays a role in protecting the body against oxidative stress.
Vitamin D deficiency and Hypovitaminosis D is also observed frequently in people AL amyloidosis, most particularly in people with kidney involvement.
And wild type amyloidosis involves the misfolding of the transthyretin TTR protein.
The TTR protein normally carries retinol which is a form of vitamin A, throughout the body.
And when TTR misfolds, it can't transport the retinol properly, and can lead to a vitamin A deficiency and even contribute to the progression of wild type amyloidosis.
