Abstract
Organ response is key to improving outcomes in light chain (AL) amyloidosis. We investigated factors associated hepatic response (HepR) in a large cohort of patients with hepatic AL amyloidosis.
Methods: Retrospective study of newly-diagnosed AL amyloidosis patients (n = 130) with liver involvement evaluated at the Mayo Clinic between 2000-2021. Patients were eligible if they had documented liver involvement and baseline alkaline phosphatase (ALP)≥1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN). HepR was defined as >50% reduction in ALP from baseline or ALP normalization. HepRs were assessed at 6, 12, 24 month after treatment initiation and the best HepR at any time point.
Results: The median baseline ALP was 2.88-fold the ULN (ALP:ULN, IQR: 2.15-4.41), and the median bilirubin was 0.7 mg/dL. HepR rates increased with time from 28% at 6 months, 36% at 12 months and 48% at 24 months. The median time to HepR was 21.5 months (95%CI = 15.4-29.5). Baseline ALP ≥ 4xULN consistently predicted HepR across all time points. Hematological response (HemR) also independently predicted HepR at 12, 24 months and best response. At best hepatic response, kappa isotype, and front-line ASCT were further independent predictors of HepR.
Conclusions: The degree of baseline ALP elevation and HemR are reliable predictors of HepR.
期刊介绍:
Amyloid: the Journal of Protein Folding Disorders is dedicated to the study of all aspects of the protein groups and associated disorders that are classified as the amyloidoses as well as other disorders associated with abnormal protein folding. The journals major focus points are:
etiology,
pathogenesis,
histopathology,
chemical structure,
nature of fibrillogenesis;
whilst also publishing papers on the basic and chemical genetic aspects of many of these disorders.
Amyloid is recognised as one of the leading publications on amyloid protein classifications and the associated disorders, as well as clinical studies on all aspects of amyloid related neurodegenerative diseases and major clinical studies on inherited amyloidosis, especially those related to transthyretin. The Journal also publishes book reviews, meeting reports, editorials, thesis abstracts, review articles and symposia in the various areas listed above.
