lüll Long-term survival (10 years or more) in 30 patients with primary amyloidosis Kyle RA; Gertz MA; Greipp PR; Witzig TE; Lust JA; Lacy MQ; Therneau TMBlood 1999[Feb]; 93 (3): 1062-6The median survival in primary systemic (AL) amyloidosis is less than 18 months. No published series of patients with AL amyloidosis have reported survival of more than 10 years. The records of all Mayo Clinic patients with a diagnosis of AL amyloidosis between January 1, 1966 and March 1, 1987 were reviewed. Patients with secondary amyloidosis, familial amyloidosis, senile systemic amyloidosis, and localized amyloidosis were excluded. During the 21 years of the study, 841 patients with AL amyloidosis were seen. Of these, 29 were excluded because the diagnosis was made at autopsy, and 2 others were excluded because no follow-up data were available. Actuarial survival for the 810 patients was 51% at 1 year, 16% at 5 years, and 4.7% at 10 years. Thirty patients survived for 10 years or more after the histologic diagnosis of AL amyloidosis; all received alkylating-agent therapy. In 14 patients, the monoclonal protein disappeared from the serum or urine. Of 10 patients with nephrotic syndrome, 4 had an objective response. Congestive heart failure, older age, creatinine value of 2 mg/dL or more, bone marrow plasma cell value of 20% or more, platelet count of 500 x 10(9)/L or less, and the presence of peripheral neuropathy were underrepresented in the 10-year survivors and are unfavorable prognostic features. Five percent of patients with AL amyloidosis survived for 10 years or more.|*Survivors[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Alkylating Agents/therapeutic use[MESH]|Amyloidosis/drug therapy/metabolism/*mortality/pathology[MESH]|Cause of Death[MESH]|Creatinine/blood[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Heart Failure/etiology[MESH]|Hepatomegaly/etiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute/epidemiology[MESH]|Life Tables[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Minnesota/epidemiology[MESH]|Nephrotic Syndrome/etiology[MESH]|Paraproteins/analysis[MESH]|Prednisone/therapeutic use[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Survival Analysis[MESH] |
