[99mTc]Tc-hydroxydiphosphonate uptake in soft tissue is associated with amyloid load in subcutaneous abdominal fat tissue and mortality in wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis patients.
Purpose: Bone scintigraphy is key to non-invasively diagnosing wild-type transthyretin (ATTRwt) amyloidosis, and is mainly used to assess cardiac radiotracer uptake. However, extracardiac radiotracer uptake is also observed. We investigated whether intensity of soft tissue radiotracer uptake is associated with amyloid load in subcutaneous abdominal fat tissue and with mortality.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 94 ATTRwt amyloidosis patients and 26 amyloid-negative heart failure controls who underwent whole-body [99mTc]Tc-hydroxydiphosphonate scintigraphy. Site-to-background ratios were calculated for heart, elbows, subcutaneous tissue, shoulders and wrists on anterior planar bone scintigraphy images using rib and whole-body radiotracer uptake as background. Fat tissue aspirates were stained with Congo red to grade amyloid load. Site-to-rib ratios were compared between ATTRwt amyloidosis patients and controls, and associations of site-to-background ratio with Congo red score and all-cause mortality were studied.
Results: ATTRwt amyloidosis patients had higher soft tissue-to-rib, heart-to-rib and heart-to-whole body ratios compared with controls. The intensity of soft tissue uptake was positively associated with amyloid load in fat tissue in ATTRwt amyloidosis patients. Estimated glomerular filtration rate, N-terminal brain natriuretic propeptide, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), and the prognostic Mayo and NAC staging system were associated with all-cause mortality in univariable models. Soft tissue/rib ratio, hs-cTnT and the prognostic staging systems were the only two variables that were independently associated withall-cause mortality.
Conclusion: Soft tissue radiotracer uptake on bone scintigraphy in ATTRwt amyloidosis patients is positively associated with amyloid load in abdominal fat tissue and is independently associated with mortality.
