What Are The Symptoms Of Protein Deficiency?

Dear Doctor, My name is sameer from Mumbai (India). This is regarding health condition of my mother age 53 years. Doctors have doubt about amyloidosis and malabosorption syndrome (came to know from file where doctors write there comments). Since last 3 months she is suffering from diarrhea, sometimes omitting, weakness, speech problem (tongue thinness), mouth ulcer, swelling in legs, increase size of legs (doctors said this is because of deficiency of proteins). Also there is irregular pumping of heart, enlarge size of heart, itching on body.
Doctors are doing all testes of proteins going thru urine, blood tests, xrays, sonography, ct scan of stomach, endoscopy, biopsy. Result of biopsy and 24 hours urine protein test is awaited. Till now function of liver, kidney is normal.
Can you please advise is there any proper treatment for this disease.
From internet information I came to knw that there is no cure for this treatment. But medical science has gone much ahead. So I hope something good can happen. Pls advise. My email id is: YYYY@YYYY
