6. Familial amyloid polyneuropathy treated with orthotopic liver transplantation: Neurophysiological improvement.

Author

Miras, M

Abstract

Orthotopic liver transpalnatation (OLT) has been recently proposed as an efficient treatment for Familial Amyloid Polineuropathy (FAP). There is not many experience with the neurophysiological evolution of these patients treated with OLT because of the short time since the first transplantation. We present the neurographic findings from a serie of explorations carried out in 12 patients suffering from FAP and treated with OLT. The patients were explored prior to treatment and three, six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months afterwards. All the neurophysiological explorations included sensitive nerve conduction of median and cubital nerves, motor nerve conduction of median and peroneal nerves and conduction of the sural nerve. We observed a sligth improvement at successive explorations for most cases, without significant worsening in any case. The observed improvement was more important at the less damaged nerves.

7. Four siblings from the same family with FAP 1 TTR ALA-71 treated by liver transplantation

Lopez, Andreu F, Ramirez, P, Excribano, JB, Mingo, P, Palazon, D, Vicente, J, Pons, JA, Miras, M, Robles, R, S.Bueno, F, Acosta, F, Costa, PMP, Costa, PP, Munar-Ques, M, and Parrilla, P

Abstract

We present the results of liver transplantation (LT) carried out in 4 siblings diagnosed with FAP 1 TTR Ala 71. The family was born in Albacete (Spain). There were 3 males and 1 female, with a mean age of 28+ −3.9 years (22-33) and a very agressive form of FAP I. The mean onset of symptoms before LT was 2.25+ −0.7 years. Three of them presented vitreous amyloid deposits. All cases suffered relevant loss of weight. Results 1. There was no mortality. The 4 patients are alive with a mean follow-up of 22+ −9 months (4-46). 2. In all cases there was a significant decrease of the abnormal TTR level after LT. 3. In all cases we noticed a neurological improvement which was more relevant in patients with a longer follow-up. 4. There was a progression of the vitreous amyloid after LT. Conclusions 1. LT improves the neurological involvement of the FAP 1 TTR Ala 71. 2. LT does not stop the progression of the vitreous amyloid deposits.
