tejidos y los \u00f3rganos. Estas prote\u00ednas mal plegadas forman fibrillas insolubles, llamadas fibrillas amiloides, que alteran la estructura y el funcionamiento normales de los \u00f3rganos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El proceso comienza a nivel molecular: una prote\u00edna normalmente inofensiva se vuelve inestable, cambia de forma y empieza a agregarse en estructuras fibrosas retorcidas que el organismo no consigue eliminar con facilidad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group aa-what-col is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dep\u00f3sitos en los \u00f3rganos<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una vez formadas, las fibrillas amiloides se depositan en la matriz extracelular de los \u00f3rganos y rellenan, por as\u00ed decirlo, los espacios entre las c\u00e9lulas. A medida que los dep\u00f3sitos se acumulan, endurecen progresivamente los tejidos y alteran las funciones el\u00e9ctricas, mec\u00e1nicas o de filtraci\u00f3n del \u00f3rgano afectado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El coraz\u00f3n se vuelve r\u00edgido y ya no puede llenarse con normalidad; los ri\u00f1ones pierden la capacidad de retener las prote\u00ednas; los nervios dejan de transmitir las se\u00f1ales. La variedad de \u00f3rganos afectados y la gravedad de la afectaci\u00f3n var\u00edan mucho seg\u00fan el subtipo de amiloidosis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"deposits\" class=\"wp-block-group aa-section aa-section--cream aa-deposits is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group aa-inner is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group aa-deposits__photo is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amyloidosisalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laboratory-microscope-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Microscopio de laboratorio\" class=\"wp-image-708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amyloidosisalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laboratory-microscope-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.amyloidosisalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laboratory-microscope-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amyloidosisalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laboratory-microscope-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amyloidosisalliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laboratory-microscope-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"aa-section-num wp-block-paragraph\">02<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprender los dep\u00f3sitos amiloides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A diferencia de la mayor\u00eda de las prote\u00ednas, que se eliminan de los tejidos cuando se da\u00f1an, las fibrillas amiloides son muy resistentes a los sistemas normales de degradaci\u00f3n de prote\u00ednas del organismo.
