Belgian Recommendations for Tissue Diagnosis of Amyloidosis

A 2025 PubMed search reviewing 298 publications formed the basis for these practical recommendations. The document provides standardized guidelines for the tissue diagnosis and subtyping of amyloidosis within the Belgian healthcare context. It was authored by Amélie Dendooven and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Training diagnostic algorithms based on the recommended staining and confirmation protocols.
• Developing standardized diagnostic workflows based on the outlined first-line and reference subtyping tools.
• Supporting clinical decision-making for prognostication and treatment strategy as described.
• Harmonizing laboratory practices across institutions using the centralization recommendations.

Strengths

• Based on a structured PubMed search of 298 publications from August 2025.
• Formulated with input from Belgian clinical and pathology experts.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 254.3 KB JPEG document, which is a very limited data scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The data is static and represents a snapshot of evidence from a specific 2025 literature review.
