Abstract Objective To retrospectively identify the critical characteristics and prognostic factors of primary light-chain amyloidosis. Patients and Methods: Data were collected and compared from 91 patients who were diagnosed with primary light-chain amyloidosis at four hospitals between January 2010 and November 2018. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and performed an overall survival (OS) analysis. Results: Patients (median age, 60 years) were diagnosed with organ involvement of the kidney (91.2%), heart (56%), liver (14.3%), soft tissue (18.7%), or gastrointestinal tract (15.4%), and 68.1% of patients had more than two organs involved. Patients were most commonly treated with bortezomib-based regimens (56%), and only one patient had autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-ASCT). The median OS was 36.33 months and was affected by the ECOG score, renal involvement, cardiac involvement, hepatic involvement and negative immunofixation in the serum and urine after treatment. Multivariate analysis indicated that cardiac involvement and negative immunofixation in the serum and urine after treatment were independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion: Cardiac involvement and the hematologic response to treatment were independent prognostic factors for OS in primary light-chain amyloidosis patients. The type and number of organs involved is more important than the number of organs involved for the OS.
