Taste acuity in 20 subjects affected by AL amyloidosis without oral complications was investigated by threshold determination. Sixteen cases did not recognize one or more fundamental tastes. Sour was the most frequently lost taste, as it was not recognized by 10 out of 20 cases. So, sensorial neuropathy, altering taste generation and/or transmission, seems frequently associated to AL amyloidosis. Further researches will show if taste losses realize typical symptomatic features in this disease.
通过阈值测定对20例无口腔并发症的AL淀粉样变性患者的味觉敏锐度进行了研究。16例患者无法识别一种或多种基本味觉。酸味是最常丧失的味觉,20例中有10例无法识别。因此,感觉神经病变改变味觉产生和/或传递,似乎常与AL淀粉样变性相关。进一步的研究将表明味觉丧失是否为本病的典型症状。
