Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent give general, sourced information about amyloidosis, route urgent symptoms to emergency care, point to specialist centres and support groups, and avoid personal medical advice.

A group of diseases in which abnormally folded proteins called amyloid build up in organs and tissues, such as AL amyloidosis from light chains, ATTR amyloidosis from transthyretin, hereditary or wild-type, and AA amyloidosis linked to chronic inflammation; effects depend on the organs involved, such as the heart, kidneys and nerves.

What it is for: A group of rare diseases relevant to diagnosis, specialist care and support.

It can be find general information about amyloidosis types; recognise urgent symptoms; find specialist centres; find patient support organisations.
