Abstract
A group of experts in amyloidosis met during the Second International Symposium on Amyloidosis held in Helsinki in 1974 to discuss nomenclature for amyloid and amyloidosis. The results of this discussion provided the basis for the first nomenclature in this field of medicine which was published in the Proceedings of that symposium (1). Most of it showed to be useful for both research and clinical practice. The scientific developments regarding amyloid and amyloidosis have been very rapid, and already at the 3rd International Symposium on Amyloidosis in Povoa de Varzim, Portugal, in 1979, the nomenclature was again the subject of discussion among a group of researchers including those who had agreed upon the first nomenclature 5 years earlier. A chapter called “Guidelines for nomenclature” was published in the Proceedings of the symposium (2). This nomenclature was very similar to that agreed upon in 1974, but with some revisions.
