Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)

Study Arms (1)
High Cut-off Hemodialysis
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
During dialysis the patients will undergo the first cycle of chemotherapy according to the current standard of care for subjects with advanced cardiac AL amyloidosis. Measurements of FLC and cardiac biomarkers will be done before and after each dialysis session. High cutoff HD will be continued during the first chemotherapy cycle. After the first cycle the end-of-treatment evaluation will take place.
Chemotherapy will be based on alchilators, proteasome inhibitors, steroids, IMiDs.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of AL amyloidosis.
- Age ≥ 18 years.
- Evidence of a monoclonal light chain in serum and/or urine by positive immunofixation and abnormal FLC κ/λ ratio.
- Evidence of cardiac involvement at echocardiography (mean left ventricular wall thickness \> 12 mm in the absence of other causes).
- Cardiac stage III (both NT-proBNP \> 332 ng/L and cTnI \> 100 ng/L).
- Estimated GFR \< 15 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or requiring dialysis.
- NYHA class III or IV.
- Initiation of chemotherapy for AL amyloidosis scheduled between day 3 and day 8 after first HCO-HD session.
You may not qualify if:
- Non-AL (e.g. familial, senile) amyloidosis.
- Concomitant non-amyloid related clinically significant cardiac diseases.
- Involved (amyloidogenic) FLC \< 100 mg/L.
- Inability to undergo chemotherapy for AL amyloidosis.
- Uncontrolled infection.
- Inability to give informed consent.
- Previous or ongoing psychiatric illness (excluding reactive depression).
- Pregnant or nursing women.
