| Abstract |
The goal of this paper is to review the literature on small bowel amyloidosis. Our review focuses on the underlying etiology, histopathology, clinical features, endoscopic and radiologic findings, and the mainstay of management. The latest research shows changing epidemiological trends of different types of amyloidosis. It also reveals a better understanding of its pathophysiology and shows improvement in treatment outcomes. Amyloidosis is a group of diseases of multiple etiologies and clinical presentations. It is characterized by pathological deposition of insoluble fibrillar proteins within various organs leading to disruption of their structure and function. The classification of amyloidosis includes primary, secondary, dialysis-related, senile, and hereditary. Amyloidosis can be systemic or localized. The incidence of AA amyloidosis is declining in frequency. If the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is involved, the small intestine is the most commonly affected site. Overall, outcomes among patients with newly diagnosed amyloidosis have improved. This article focuses on small bowel amyloidosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 March 2018.
All research outputs
#20,726,252
of 25,461,852 outputs
Outputs from Current Gastroenterology Reports
#298
of 368 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#269,941
of 345,611 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Gastroenterology Reports
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,461,852 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 368 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.4. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 345,611 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
