ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA), renal dysfunction is a poor prognostic indicator. Limited data are available on variables that portend worsening renal function (wRF) among ATTR-CA patients.OBJECTIVES:
This study assesses which characteristics place patients at higher risk for the development of wRF (defined as a drop of ≥10% in glomerular filtration rate [GFR]) within the first year following diagnosis of ATTR-CA.METHODS:
We included patients with ATTR-CA (n = 134) evaluated between 2/2016 and 12/2022 and followed for up to 1 year at our amyloid clinic. Patients were stratified into two groups a group with maintained renal function (mRF) and a group with wRF and compared using appropriate testing. Significant variables in the univariate analysis were included in the multivariable logistic regression model to determine characteristics associated with wRF.RESULTS:
Within a follow-up period of 326 ± 118 days, the median GFR% change measured -6% [-18%, +8]. About 41.8% (n = 56) had wRF, while the remainder had mRF. In addition, in patients with no prior history of chronic kidney disease (CKD), 25.5% developed de novo CKD. On multivariable logistic regression, only New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ≥III (odds ratio [OR] 3.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.6-9.3]), history of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (OR 0.3, 95% CI [0.1-0.7]), and not receiving SGLT-2i (OR 0.1, 95% CI [0.02-0.5]) were significant predictors of wRF.CONCLUSION:
Our study demonstrated that the development of de novo renal dysfunction or wRF is common following the diagnosis of ATTR-CA. Additionally, we identified worse NYHA class and no prior history of IHD as significant predictors associated with developing wRF, while receiving SGLT-2i therapy appeared to be protective in this population.Palabras clave
