Relative change rate of anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies concentration Correlates with the recurrence of myasthenia gravis in AChR-Abs-positive patients
Backgrounds
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease predominantly caused by anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChR-Abs). In this study, the relationship between MG relapse and AChR-Abs concentration were investigated.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 41 patients with AChR-Abs-positive MG. Data collected included age, sex, MG status within 12 months (untreated status, UTMG; recurrence status, RCMG), MG subgroups, QMGs, AChR-Abs concentration and treatments. The relative change rate (RCR) of AChR-Abs concentration was calculated as: RCR(%)=(AChR-Abs–AChR-AbsUTMG)/AChR-AbsUTMG/month*100. ROC curve analysis and binary logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between these factors and MG recurrence.
Results
Within 12 months, 12 patients experienced a recurrence (RCMG). A weak correlation was observed between AChR-Abs level in UTMG and QMGs (r = 0.336, p = 0.032). MG subgroups, QMGs, AChR-Ab levels and RCR differed significantly between RCMG and non-RCMG group. Single factor ROC curves indicated that AChR-Abs concentration, RCR and MG subgroups were related to MG recurrence (AUC = 0.724, 0.736, 0.736). Combining with RCR and MG subgroups, the ROC yielded an AUC of 0.899, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity.
Conclusion
RCR of AChR-Abs was correlated with MG progression, and repeated AChR-Abs measurements can assist in monitoring disease status and guiding therapeutic decision-making.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
