このコンテンツについて

Hi everyone! My name is Mackenzie and I was diagnosed with AL amyloidosis at age 23. We don’t know the cause of this disease, but we do know that it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening issues. This disease has changed me and my life in so many ways, and as a result, I founded Mackenzie’s Mission to join the fight against this disease.


Part of our effort is to raise awareness which, we believe, will accelerate diagnosis, enable earlier treatment, and improve patient lives. We do this in several ways, including our “All Things Amyloid” podcast. In our episodes, we will speak with patients and caregivers about their journey on a wide array of topics. We will also hear from amyloidosis experts about the medical side of this disease.


There is more hope for patients than ever before, and raising awareness around the globe is critical to improving patient lives. If you want to learn more about the work we’re doing at Mackenzie’s Mission, please visit mm713.org. Thanks for listening!

    The doctor-patient relationship is so important to a patient’s journey, especially when dealing with a complex disease like amyloidosis. Listen to Mackenzie where she talks with Erin Poyant, founder of #hattrnextgen and Senior Manager of Education and Awareness for the Amyloidosis Research Consortium about how this relationship can be strengthened within the Black community. In this episode Erin emphasizes the importance of addressing and mitigating biases in the doctor-patient relationship to encourage positive communication and trust within the Black community. For an overview of amyloidosis, please see episode 2 (for clinicians) or episode 3 (for patients).

    In this episode of All Things Amyloid, we hear from Dr. Mazen Hanna, cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic and co-director of the Amyloid Program. Adapted from his video “Cardiac Amyloidosis - AL and ATTR: Two Different Conditions” he explains how cardiac amyloidosis can originate from two very different types of amyloidosis: AL (light chain) or ATTR (transthyretin). Dr. Hanna illustrates how clinicians can identify cardiac amyloidosis and look to different diagnostic work-ups to understand whether the issues are due to AL or ATTR amyloidosis. These two conditions are treated differently and have different prognoses, emphasizing the importance of identifying the type of amyloidosis involved. His video can be found in the Education Hub on Mackenzie’s Mission website. For an overview of amyloidosis, please see episode 2 (for clinicians) or episode 3 (for patients).

  • An AL Patient’s Journey Through Kidney Transplant and Organ Donation Advocacy

    An AL Patient’s Journey Through Kidney Transplant and Organ Donation Advocacy
    2025/08/06

    For AL amyloidosis patients, the kidney is one of the most commonly impacted organs. Rigid amyloid fibrils can infiltrate the organ and impair function. And when diagnosed late, the kidney can be in late stage kidney failure. At that point there are two options for patients - dialysis or kidney transplant. In today’s episode we’ll be talking with Mark McIntosh about his kidney transplant journey and how he has become a kidney donation advocate through Drive for Five (www.dffnetwork.org). For an overview of amyloidosis, please see episode 2 (for clinicians) or episode 3 (for patients).
