Abstract
Renal dysfunction is a common complication of MM and is associated with poor prognosis, particularly when progressive. Early identification of renal dysfunction is essential for prompt treatment for disease control and restoration of renal function. Urinary insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP-7), urinary tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2), and serum transgelin levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and evaluated as biomarkers for the prediction of renal impairment in patients with multiple myeloma. U IGFBP-7/creatinine ratio, U TIMP2/creatinine ratio, and serum transgelin levels were higher in patients with MM than healthy controls, and predicted renal insufficiency in MM. Serum transgelin, urinary IGFBp7, and TIMP2 levels may have utility as biomarkers of renal tubular injury and predict future renal impairment in patients with MM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study involves the collation and analysis of clinical characteristics and laboratory findings in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) combined with renal insufficiency. The objective was to assess the impact of various treatment methods on patient outcomes and the incidence of adverse events in individuals with MM and renal insufficiency. METHODS We analyzed the correlation between clinical characteristics, gene loci, fluorescence in situ hybridization, treatment methods, and prognosis in patients with MM and renal insufficiency. The differences in hematological and therapeutic efficacy indexes between two groups subjected to different treatments were evaluated. The assessment of treatment effectiveness was based on the total effective rate, calculated as the sum of stringent CR rate, complete remission rate, very good partial remission rate, and partial remission rate. RESULTS (1) The renal insufficiency group exhibited higher percentages of bone marrow abnormal plasma cells, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), blood calcium, white blood cell count, percentage of neutrophils, and blood β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels compared to the normal renal function group. Conversely, hemoglobin levels and lymphocyte percentage were lower in the renal insufficiency group. Binary logistic regression analysis identified hemoglobin, blood calcium values, blood β2-MG, and LDH as independent risk factors for the development of renal insufficiency in patients with MM (p < 0.05). (2) Based on the Durie-Salmon staging criteria, the proportion of Stage III patients was the highest (up to 81.8%), indicating that patients with MM usually suffer from insidious disease, often with high tumor load and late-disease stage at the time of consultation. International Staging System (ISS) and Revised ISS staging also revealed a higher proportion of Stage III patients in the renal insufficiency group (p < 0.05), indicating a worse long-term prognosis in patients with MM and renal insufficiency. (3) Before treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the analysis of various indices. Complications such as sepsis, herpes zoster, peripheral neuropathy, thrombosis, secondary pulmonary infection, and cardiac complications were significantly lower in the BCD group (Bortezomib + Cyclophosphamide + Dexamethasone) compared to the BD group (Bortezomib + Dexamethasone) (χ2 = 6.333, p < 0.05), suggesting fewer complications with the BCD regimen. (4) The clinical treatment effects analysis indicated that the BCD group demonstrated a more significant impact than the BD group in the treatment of MM. CONCLUSION The application of the BCD regimen in the treatment of MM has shown significant efficiency, effectively alleviating clinical symptoms with fewer adverse reactions and high safety.

Abstract
Purpose: Modification of Diet in Renal Disease’ (MDRD) and 'Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration’ (CKD-EPI) formulas are generally accepted and widely utilized tools to assess renal function. In this study, we aimed to investigate the power of the MDRD and CKD-EPI formulas, which are the two most used formulas in the measurement of eGFR in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).
Materials and Methods: A total of 40 patients, newly diagnosis with MM, were consecutively enrolled to the study and their records were analyzed in terms of demographic features and laboratory parameters of the patients, type of paraproteinemia and stage of disease. MDRD and CKD-EPI formulas were used to evaluate renal function.
Results: The difference found between basal and third-month estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) using MDRD (61±15.4 mL/min/1.73 m², third month 75±18.2 mL/min/1.73 m²) and CKD-EPI formulas (62±15.7 mL/min/1.73 m², third month 76±18.4 mL/min/1.73 m²) were significant. There was no significant difference between two formulas regarding basal and third month eGFR mean values. According to CKD staging, 12.5% of all subjects changed and 80% of them moved to better stage.
Conclusion: CKD-EPI tends to produce higher eGFR values with compared to MDRD, especially when they are used to evaluate mildly impaired renal function. Hence, prevalence of renal disease was determined lower when assessed with CKD-EPI. Therefore, we recommend that it is important to use the same eGFR estimation formula for a consistent outcomes analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal involvement is present in approximately 50% of multiple myeloma (MM) cases and is associated with a poor prognosis. Procollagen C-Proteinase Enhancer 1 (PCPE-1) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that has been shown to increase collagen production by enhancing the activity of Procollagen C-Proteinase (PCP) involved in collagen fibrillogenesis and contribute to the fibrotic process. This study investigates the relationship between PCPE-1 and renal function in myeloma patients. METHODS Eighty-one adults, consisting of 61 patients diagnosed with MM and 20 healthy controls, were included in this cross-sectional study. The MM patients with renal injury (RI) were classified as "MM-RI( +)" and those with no RI as "MM-RI(-)". RESULTS The median serum PCPE-1 level was 10.7 (5.0-39.4) ng/mL for the entire study population, 9.9 (5.0-13.6) ng/mL for the control group, 10.0 (6.4-22.5) ng/mL for the MM-RI(-) group, and 11.4 (8.1-39.4) ng/mL for the MM-RI( +) group. The difference between the control group and MM-RI( +) group was statistically significant (p < 0.013). PCPE-1 levels negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum albumin, and hemoglobin levels but positively correlated with serum creatinine and CRP levels in the entire study population. Among MM patients, only serum phosphorus and beta-2-microglobulin (β2M) were positively correlated with PCPE-1. PCPE-1 levels was not affected by other parameters in the entire study population and in the MM group. CONCLUSIONS Although serum PCPE-1 was higher in the MM-RI( +) group, it was thought to be associated with low GFR reflecting non-specific kidney injury rather than myeloma-related kidney injury.

The Key Role of Hepcidin-25 in Anemia in Multiple Myeloma Patients with Renal Impairment. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58030417. [PMID: 35334593 PMCID: PMC8955231 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58030417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and objectives: Anemia is common in multiple myeloma (MM) and is caused by a complex pathomechanism, including impaired iron homeostasis. Our aim is to evaluate the biomarkers of iron turnover: serum soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) and hepcidin-25 in patients at various stages of MM in relation with markers of anemia, iron status, inflammation, renal impairment and burden of the disease and as predictors of mortality. Materials and methods: Seventy-three MM patients (six with smoldering and 67 with symptomatic disease) were recruited and observed for up to 27 months. Control group included 21 healthy individuals. Serum sTfR and hepcidin were measured with immunoenzymatic assays. Results: MM patients with and without anemia had higher sTFR compared to controls, while only anemic patients had higher hepcidin-25. Both hepcidin-25 and sTfR were higher in anemic than non-anemic patients. Higher hepcidin-25 (but not sTfR) was associated with increasing MM advancement (from smoldering to International Staging System stage III disease) and with poor response to MM treatment, which was accompanied by lower blood hemoglobin and increased anisocytosis. Neither serum hepcidin-25 nor sTfR were correlated with markers of renal impairment. Hepcidin-25 predicted blood hemoglobin in MM patients independently of other predictors, including markers of renal impairment, inflammation and MM burden. Moreover, both blood hemoglobin and serum hepcidin-25 were independently associated with patients’ 2-year survival. Conclusions: Our results suggest that hepcidin-25 is involved in anemia in MM and its concentrations are not affected by kidney impairment. Moreover, serum hepcidin-25 may be an early predictor of survival in this disease, independent of hemoglobin concentration. It should be further evaluated whether including hepcidin improves the early diagnosis of anemia in MM.

Abstract
Transgelin is a 22-kDa protein involved in cytoskeletal organization and expressed in smooth muscle tissue. According to animal studies, it is a potential mediator of kidney injury and fibrosis, and moreover, its role in tumorigenesis is emerging in a variety of cancers. The study included 126 ambulatory patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Serum transgelin-2 concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay. We evaluated associations between baseline transgelin and kidney function (serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate—eGFR, urinary markers of tubular injury: cystatin-C, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin—NGAL monomer, cell cycle arrest biomarkers IGFBP-7 and TIMP-2) and markers of MM burden. Baseline serum transgelin was also evaluated as a predictor of kidney function after a follow-up of 27 months from the start of the study. Significant correlations were detected between serum transgelin-2 and serum creatinine (R = 0.29; p = 0.001) and eGFR (R = −0.25; p = 0.007). Transgelin significantly correlated with serum free light chains lambda (R = 0.18; p = 0.047) and serum periostin (R = −0.22; p = 0.013), after exclusion of smoldering MM patients. Patients with decreasing eGFR had higher transgelin levels (median 106.6 versus 83.9 ng/mL), although the difference was marginally significant (p = 0.05). However, baseline transgelin positively correlated with serum creatinine after the follow-up period (R = 0.37; p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with eGFR after the follow-up period (R = −0.33; p < 0.001). Moreover, higher baseline serum transgelin (beta = −0.11 ± 0.05; p = 0.032) significantly predicted lower eGFR values after the follow-up period, irrespective of baseline eGFR and follow-up duration. Our study shows for the first time that elevated serum transgelin is negatively associated with glomerular filtration in MM and predicts a decline in renal function over long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Urine insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP-7), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) monomer are novel tubular kidney injury biomarkers. In multiple myeloma (MM), immunoglobulin free light chains (FLCs) play an integral role in renal impairment. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between new biomarkers and acclaimed parameters of renal failure, MM stage, and prognosis. Materials and Methods: The examined parameters included: urinary and serum cystatin-C, IGFBP-7, and TIMP-2, and urinary NGAL monomer in 124 enrolled patients. Results: Urinary and serum IGFBP-7 and urinary NGAL were higher among patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and positively correlated with urine light chains. Serum and urine IGFBP-7 and urine NGAL were greater among patients with a higher disease stage. In the whole study group, urinary concentrations of the studied markers were positively correlated with each other. In multiple linear regression, urinary IGFBP-7 and NGAL were associated with lower eGFR, independently of other urinary markers. Conclusions: Urinary IGFBP-7 and NGAL monomer may be useful markers of tubular renal damage in patients with MM. Biomarker-based diagnostics may contribute to earlier treatment that may improve renal outcomes and life expectancy in MM.

Abstract
Objectives: Bone destruction and renal impairment are two frequent complications of multiple myeloma (MM). Cystatin C, an extracellular cysteine proteinase inhibitor, is encoded by the housekeeping gene CST3 and associated with human tumors. The role of cystatin C in multiple myeloma has been revealed recently. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of cystatin C as a proteasome inhibitor in multiple myeloma. Methods : A comprehensive literature review was conducted through Pubmed to summarize the published evidence on cystatin C in multiple myeloma. English literature sources since 1999 were searched, using the terms cystatin C, multiple myeloma. Results: cystatin C is a sensitive indicator for the diagnosis of myeloma nephropathy and has a dual role in myeloma bone disease. Also, cystatin C reflects tumor burden and is strongly associated with prognosis in patients with multiple myeloma. Conclusion: Cystatin C have great diagnostic and prognostic value in multiple myeloma. It can provide a new treatment direction for MM by designing and searching for antagonists of cystatin C or cysteine protease agonists using cystatin C as a therapeutic target.
