Thrombotic events (TE) appear to be more common in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) than in other acute leukemias, with reported prevalence ranging from 2 to 10-15%.
We retrospectively analyzed the data on TE appearance in 63 APL patients.
TE occured in 13 (20.6%) cases, four arterial (6.3%) and nine venous (14.3%). TE were more frequently diagnosed after initiation of weekly D-dimer monitoring (7 TE during 20 months vs 6 during 76 months, P=0.032). Patients with and without venous thrombosis were significantly different regarding female/male ratio (P=0.046), PT (P=0.022), aPTT (P=0.044), ISTH DIC score (P=0.001), bcr3 (P=0.02) and FLT3-ITD (P=0.028) mutation. The most significant risk factor for venous TE occurrence in multivariate analysis was FLT3-ITD mutation (P=0.034). PAI-1 4G/4G polymorphism was five times more frequent in patients with venous TE than without it (P=0.05). Regarding risk factors for arterial TE we failed to identify any.
We have demonstrated that APL-related TE rate is higher than previously reported and that weekly D-dimer monitoring might help to identify patients with silent thrombosis. Moreover, our study suggests a possible relationship between venous TE occurrence and several laboratory findings (PT, aPTT, ISTH DIC score, bcr3 isoform, FLT3-ITD mutation and PAI 4G/4G). Prophylactic use of heparin might be considered in patients with ISTH DIC score<5, bcr3 isoform, FLT3-ITD mutation and PAI 4G/4G.
血栓形成事件(TE)在急性早幼粒细胞白血病(APL)中似乎比在其他急性白血病中更为常见,报道的患病率在2%至10 - 15%之间。
我们回顾性分析了63例APL患者中TE出现的数据。
13例(20.6%)发生TE,4例为动脉血栓(6.3%),9例为静脉血栓(14.3%)。在开始每周进行D - 二聚体监测后,TE更频繁被诊断出来(20个月内7例TE,而76个月内6例,P = 0.032)。有静脉血栓和无静脉血栓的患者在男女比例(P = 0.046)、PT(P = 0.022)、活化部分凝血活酶时间(aPTT)(P = 0.044)、国际血栓与止血学会(ISTH)弥散性血管内凝血(DIC)评分(P = 0.001)、bcr3(P = 0.02)和FMS样酪氨酸激酶3内部串联重复(FLT3 - ITD)突变方面存在显著差异。多因素分析中静脉TE发生的最显著危险因素是FLT3 - ITD突变(P = 0.034)。纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂 - 1(PAI - 1)4G/4G多态性在有静脉TE的患者中比无静脉TE的患者高五倍(P = 0.05)。关于动脉TE的危险因素,我们未能识别出任何因素。
我们已证明与APL相关的TE发生率高于先前报道,并且每周进行D - 二聚体监测可能有助于识别无症状血栓形成的患者。此外,我们的研究表明静脉TE发生与一些实验室检查结果(PT、aPTT、ISTH DIC评分、bcr3亚型、FLT3 - ITD突变和PAI 4G/4G)之间可能存在关联。对于ISTH DIC评分<5、bcr3亚型、FLT3 - ITD突变和PAI 4G/4G的患者,可考虑预防性使用肝素。
