Pretransplant hypoalbuminemia may be associated with poor survival in patients that underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT)

Objectives and aim: Serum albumin level is mainly a marker of nutritional status in both healthy subjects and patients with malignancies. Our objective was to investigate the association of pre-transplant serum albumin levels with prognosis in autologous HSCT recipients.   Materials and methods: W...

description Objectives and aim: Serum albumin level is mainly a marker of nutritional status in both healthy subjects and patients with malignancies. Our objective was to investigate the association of pre-transplant serum albumin levels with prognosis in autologous HSCT recipients.   Materials and methods: We retrospectively analysed 106 patients’ data  who had undergone autologous HSCT diagnosed with multiple myeloma, Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Serum albumin, phosphorus, D-dimer and uric acid, CD34+ cell count, BMI, presence of neutropenic fever  of 106 patients were evaluated. The patients’ data were obtained  from the file  records. Results: 33 (31.1%) of the patients were female, and 73  (68.9%) were male. The diagnosis  of  the patients were; Hodgkin Lyphoma (33 patients, 31.1%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (34 patients, 32.1%), and multiple myeloma (39 patients, 36.8%). The median age was found 42 years (min-max: 17-67). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that low albumin  levels (<3.2g /dL) were associated with decreased overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS)  compared to those with normal albumin levels (p=0.016 and p=0.001 respectively). A higher risk of death was observed in low-albumin  group (HR=2.69, CI:1.17-6.24, p=0.016 for OS and HR=2.69,CI:1.17-6.24 p=0.001 for DFS). Cox regression analysis showed that; low albumin levels were  associated with increased risk of relapse but this was not statistically significant (HR:0.97 with  %95 CI:0.28-3.32, p=0.96). Serum uric acid, D-dimer, phosphorus levels, CD34+ cell count, BMI, presence of neutropenic fever, age and gender were not associated with poor OS and DFS (p>0.05). Conclusion: Pre-transplant serum albumin levels may be associated with poor outcomes in patients who had undergone autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation regardless with primary diagnosis.
