Treatment options
If you are living with ATTR, starting treatment soon after diagnosis is key to managing your symptoms.
There are treatment options available for patients with certain symptoms and types of ATTR that address the underlying cause of the disease. These work by:
- Silencers: Reducing the amount of TTR protein made in the body, which can help decrease the formation of amyloid deposits
- Stabilizers: Decreasing the amount of TTR proteins that take on an abnormal shape and form amyloid deposits in the body
Since ATTR can worsen quickly over time, it is important to share any new or changing symptoms that you or your loved one are experiencing. Managing the condition is an ongoing process, so it is important to have these conversations with your healthcare team.
It's important to talk with your doctor about understanding your options. Work with your doctor to ensure that you are taking the right steps to manage your disease.
