چکیده
UNLABELLED Serum amyloid P component (SAP) binds to amyloid. (123)I-SAP scintigraphy is used to evaluate the extent and distribution of amyloid in systemic amyloidosis and has great clinical value in the detection of systemic amyloidosis. The aim of the study was to assess during scintigraphy the diagnostic performance and prognostic value of a simple parameter describing extravascular (123)I-SAP retention in systemic amyloidosis. METHODS Two hundred megabecquerels of (123)I-labeled human SAP was injected intravenously for scintigraphy in 20 controls and in 189 consecutive patients with systemic and localized amyloidosis. Extravascular retention of (123)I-SAP was quantified from serum and urine measurements after 24 h (EVR(24)) and 48 h. Sensitivity and specificity were assessed, and retention was correlated with kidney, heart, liver, and nerve involvement and with survival. RESULTS The cutoff value representing a desired specificity of 90% of EVR(24) was 50%. The associated sensitivity of EVR(24) for detecting reactive systemic, immunocyte-derived (AL), and hereditary amyloidosis was 65%, 61%, and 22%, respectively, using a cutoff point of 50%. In AL amyloidosis, the EVR(24) increased with the number of organs involved (from a mean of 43% for 1 organ to a mean of 81% for 4 organs). The EVR(24) correlated with serum alkaline phosphatase (r = 0.63) and with creatinine clearance (r = -0.36). In AL amyloidosis, both cardiac involvement (hazard ratio, 3.9; 95% CI, 2.0-7.8) and EVR(24) (hazard ratio, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.9) were independent predictors of survival. CONCLUSION In AL amyloidosis, the EVR(24) is strongly associated with organ involvement and with prognosis and might serve as an indicator of the body amyloid load. Quantification of SAP retention using the EVR(24) has no additional value over (123)I-SAP scintigraphy in the detection of systemic amyloidosis.

Kinetic studies with iodine-123-labeled serum amyloid P component in patients with systemic AA and AL amyloidosis and assessment of clinical value.
UNLABELLED In systemic amyloidosis, widespread amyloid deposition interferes with organ function, frequently with fatal consequences. Diagnosis rests on demonstrating amyloid deposits in the tissues, traditionally with histology although scintigraphic imaging with radiolabeled serum amyloid P component (SAP) has lately been developed as a specific noninvasive alternative. We report a detailed a...

Highly specific, high-resolution scintigraphic images of amyloid-laden organs in mice with experimentally induced amyloid A protein (AA) amyloidosis were obtained after intravenous injection of 123I-labeled serum amyloid P component (SAP). Interestingly, a much higher proportion (up to 40%) of the injected dose of heterologous human SAP localized to amyloid and was retained there than was the c...
متن کاملRepeat doses of antibody to serum amyloid P component clear amyloid deposits in patients with systemic amyloidosis.
Systemic amyloidosis is a fatal disorder caused by pathological extracellular deposits of amyloid fibrils that are always coated with the normal plasma protein, serum amyloid P component (SAP). The small-molecule drug, miridesap, [(R)-1-[6-[(R)-2-carboxy-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-6-oxo-hexanoyl]pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (CPHPC)] depletes circulating SAP but leaves some SAP in amyloid deposits. This ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The liver is frequently involved in amyloidosis but the significance of hepatic amyloid has not been systematically studied. We have previously developed scintigraphy with 123I serum amyloid P component (123I-SAP) to identify and monitor amyloid deposits quantitatively in vivo and we report here our findings in hepatic amyloidosis. METHODS Between 1988 and 1995, 805 patien...
