Dear user,

I think the right word is "amyloidosis". This is a very though disease, that may be caused by lots of conditions, in particular monoclonal proteins or chronic infections. He should be followed by an experienced hematologist in the field, since prognosis is poor. You will find excellence in Mayo Clinic, in particular Dr. Nelson Leung.

Take care,
