Overview and Recommendations
Background
- •Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of diseases defined by extracellular deposition of insoluble fibrils from misfolded precursor proteins. The most common systemic type is AL (immunoglobulin light chain) amyloidosis, with an incidence of 8-12 per million, followed by ATTR (transthyretin) and AA (serum amyloid A).
- •AL amyloidosis originates from a small clonal plasma cell population, often harboring t(11;14) (50% of cases), that secretes amyloidogenic monoclonal light chains. The bone marrow plasma cell burden is typically low but can overlap with multiple myeloma.
- •Cardiac involvement dominates prognosis: 60-75% of AL patients have cardiac amyloidosis, presenting as HFpEF with restrictive physiology. Untreated median survival is 12-18 months; modern therapy achieves 5-year survival >70% with deep hematologic response.
- •Other major types: ATTRwt (wild-type, older men, carpal tunnel syndrome, cardiomyopathy), ATTRv (hereditary, neuropathy/cardiomyopathy), and AA (secondary to chronic inflammation, primarily renal). Accurate typing dictates treatment, making mass spectrometry the gold standard.
- •Pathophysiology involves misfolding of normally soluble proteins into beta-pleated sheet fibrils; oligomeric intermediates are the primary cytotoxic species, causing oxidative stress and organ dysfunction even before fibril deposition.
Evaluation
- •Suspect AL amyloidosis in patients >50 years with unexplained nephrotic syndrome, restrictive cardiomyopathy, peripheral neuropathy, hepatomegaly, macroglossia, or periorbital purpura. Also consider ATTRwt in older men with carpal tunnel syndrome preceding heart failure.
- •Ask about exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, edema, weight loss, early satiety, orthostatic dizziness, paresthesias, and family history of neuropathy or cardiomyopathy.
- •Examine for orthostatic hypotension, jugular venous distension, peripheral edema, hepatomegaly, macroglossia, periorbital purpura, and length-dependent sensory loss with diminished ankle reflexes.
- •Order serum immunofixation, urine immunofixation, and serum free light chain (FLC) assay as initial screen. The combination detects 92% of AL cases. Also obtain NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin for staging.
- •Perform transthoracic echocardiography with global longitudinal strain and cardiac MRI with T1 mapping to assess cardiac involvement. Fat pad aspirate and bone marrow biopsy with Congo red staining diagnose amyloid; mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the gold standard for typing.
- •Apply Mayo 2012 staging: NT-proBNP ≥1800 pg/mL, troponin T ≥0.025 ng/mL, dFLC ≥18 mg/dL. Stage IIIb (NT-proBNP >8500 ng/L) identifies ultra-high risk with median OS 9 months despite therapy.
- •Consider genetic testing for TTR mutations in patients with atypical features, no clonal dominance, or family history. Cardiac biopsy may be needed if non-invasive tests are inconclusive.
- •Assess renal function (eGFR, proteinuria) and coagulation profile (fibrinogen, D-dimer) due to bleeding risk from hyperfibrinolysis and factor X deficiency.
Management
- •Initiate daratumumab-CyBorD for newly diagnosed AL. Daratumumab 1800 mg SC weekly cycles 1-2, then q2w cycles 3-6, then q4w up to 2 years. CyBorD: bortezomib 1.3 mg/m² SC, cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m² PO/IV, dexamethasone 40 mg PO/IV on days 1,8,15,22 of a 28-day cycle for 6 cycles.
- •Titrate doses: reduce bortezomib for neuropathy, cyclophosphamide for renal impairment (CrCl 10-50: 75% dose), dexamethasone to 20 mg weekly in frail patients to avoid volume overload and infections.
- •Monitor hematologic response after each cycle: CR requires normal FLC ratio and negative immunofixation; VGPR is dFLC <40 mg/L; PR is >50% dFLC reduction. Aim for VGPR or better within 3 months.
- •Assess cardiac response: NT-proBNP decrease >30% and >300 ng/L defines cardiac response. Graded criteria (cardiac CR, VGPR, PR, NR) predict 5-year survival (93%, 79%, 65%, 33% respectively).
- •For ATTR cardiomyopathy, vutrisiran 25 mg SC q12w or patisiran 0.3 mg/kg IV q3w. In octogenarians, tafamidis reduces all-cause mortality (HR 0.51). For ATTR polyneuropathy, inotersen 300 mg SC weekly.
- •For AA, aggressively control underlying inflammation to achieve SAA <10 mg/L; target <4 mg/L for optimal survival.
- •What NOT to do: avoid ASCT as first-line in unselected patients; avoid dexamethasone 40 mg beyond 6 cycles; avoid bortezomib in NYHA III/IV HF without caution; avoid digoxin in cardiac amyloidosis.
- •When to refer: to hematology for AL; to cardiology for advanced cardiac imaging; to nephrology for renal biopsy or dialysis; to neurology for neuropathy.
- •For acute bleeding, tranexamic acid 1 g IV q8h (adjust for eGFR <30). For AF with cardiac amyloidosis, use DOACs over warfarin; LAAC is alternative for high bleeding risk.
- •Escalation: if no PR after 2-3 cycles, switch to bortezomib-melphalan-dexamethasone, lenalidomide-based therapy, or BCMA-directed therapy. Anti-BCMA CAR-T achieves 94% ORR but with high early mortality in advanced cardiac disease.
- •Discharge criteria: hemodynamic stability, controlled heart failure, no active bleeding, plan for ongoing chemotherapy. Re-stage at 3 and 6 months; stage migration predicts worse survival.
Board Review — High Yield
- •Congo red stain - apple-green birefringence under polarized light is diagnostic for amyloid.
- •t(11;14) - most common cytogenetic abnormality in AL, present in ~50%, associated with adverse prognosis and targetable with venetoclax.
- •Mayo 2012 staging - uses NT-proBNP, troponin T, and dFLC to stratify prognosis; stage IV median OS 5.8 months.
- •Dara-CyBorD - standard first-line therapy for AL; ANDROMEDA trial showed CR 53% vs 18% and reduced organ deterioration (HR 0.58).
- •Mass spectrometry - gold standard for amyloid typing, sensitivity 98-100%; immunofixation is complementary.
- •ATTRwt - often misdiagnosed as HFpEF; consider in older men with carpal tunnel syndrome and thick LV walls.
- •SAA target - in AA, maintain SAA <4 mg/L for optimal survival; risk of death 18-fold higher if SAA >155 mg/L.
- •Hyperfibrinolysis - dominant bleeding mechanism in AL; treat with tranexamic acid 1 g IV q8h.
- •DOACs preferred - for atrial fibrillation in cardiac amyloidosis over warfarin; meta-analysis shows reduced thromboembolism without increased major bleeding.
- •Cardiac response - NT-proBNP decrease >30% and >300 ng/L defines cardiac response; 5-year OS 93% for cardiac CR vs 33% for no response.
