A 55-year-old man was admitted to our institute to undergo evaluation for proteinuria (5.4 g/day) with lambda-type Bence-Jones protein (BJP). Primary amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis and acquired factor X deficiency were diagnosed. High-dose melphalan combined with autologous stem cell transplantation was performed. After three years, the patient's proteinuria normalized, he was negative for urinary BJP, and his factor X activity improved to 105%. Serial renal biopsy showed no progression of amyloid deposition at a biopsy after 5 years, but showed a slight increase in the amyloid deposition after 11 years. This therapy can improve the prognosis of AL amyloidosis; however, there are limitations to the strategy.
一名55岁男性因蛋白尿(5.4克/天)伴λ型本-周蛋白(BJP)入住我院接受评估。诊断为原发性淀粉样轻链(AL)淀粉样变性和获得性因子X缺乏症。进行了大剂量美法仑联合自体干细胞移植。三年后,患者蛋白尿恢复正常,尿BJP转阴,因子X活性提高到105%。系列肾活检显示,5年后活检时淀粉样沉积无进展,但11年后淀粉样沉积略有增加。这种治疗方法可以改善AL淀粉样变性的预后;然而,该策略存在局限性。
