Hypovitaminosis D Is Prevalent in Patients With Renal AL Amyloidosis and Associated With Renal Outcome
INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D deficiency is common, but no data have been reported on vitamin D levels in light chain (AL) amyloidosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this exploratory study, stored serum samples from 173 patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis were analyzed for vitamin studies which includ...

Sumario: | INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D deficiency is common, but no data have been reported on vitamin D levels in light chain (AL) amyloidosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this exploratory study, stored serum samples from 173 patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis were analyzed for vitamin studies which included 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)(2)D] and vitamin D binding protein (DBP). Measurements were made by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Kidney survival and overall survival (OS) were assessed in association to vitamin D status. RESULTS: Cardiac and kidney involvement occurred in 69% and 63% of patients, respectively. 25(OH)D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) was seen in 56.6% of the patients and was notably found among patients with heavy proteinuria (96%), hypoalbuminemia (84.3%) and morbidly obese patients (68.3%). Heavy proteinuria (>5 gr/24-h) and vitamin D supplementation were independent predictors of 25(OH)D level on nominal multivariate regression analysis. 1,25(0H)(2)D deficiency was noted in 37.6% of patients and was independently associated with low eGFR and hypoalbuminemia. Progression to ESRD occurred in 23.7% of evaluable patients. Patients who progressed to ESRD had lower serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)(2)D levels compared to those who did not progress to ESRD. On a multivariate analysis, severe 25(OH)D deficiency was an independent predictor of progression to ESRD as was renal stage, while 1,25(OH)(2)D deficiency was not. CONCLUSIONS: Hypovitaminosis D is common in AL amyloidosis, particularly among patients with heavy proteinuria. Severe 25(OH)D deficiency at time of diagnosis predicts progression to ESRD. |
