Résumé

Hepatic veno-occlusive (VOD) disease has been described in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), solid tumors, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The incidence of VOD in Wilms tumor (WT) ranges from 1.2% to 8%. The diagnosis of VOD is clinical, and there are no validated laboratory biomarkers. We prospectively evaluated the specificity and sensitivity of plasminogen-activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and protein C as diagnostic markers of VOD in WT patients. Fifty patients treated from 2008 to 2016 for WT were eligible. VOD was diagnosed according to modified Seattle criteria and retrospectively reclassified according to the recently published criteria for VOD in pediatric HSCT patients. VOD occurred in 6 of 50 patients (12%) after 20 to 97 days from starting chemotherapy. The average duration of VOD was 10 days (range, 4-13 days). PAI-1 levels were elevated in all VOD patients, while a decrease in protein C levels was observed in 33% of patients with VOD. PAI-1 antigen (Ag) values ≥ 26.4 ng/mL demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for the clinical diagnosis of VOD with sensitivity 100%, specificity 93%; whereas protein C levels below 34.5% had sensitivity 67%, specificity 100%. Both PAI-1 and protein C had an high negative predictive value: PAI-1 Ag 100%; protein C 95%. PAI-1 Ag and protein C have good sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of VOD in WT patients. Their high negative predictive value can be used in the differential diagnosis of liver toxicity, especially in VOD episodes with absent or delayed hyperbilirubinemia.

BACKGROUND
Hepatic veno-occlusive (VOD) disease has been described in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), solid tumors, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The incidence of VOD in Wilms tumor (WT) ranges from 1.2% to 8%. The diagnosis of VOD is clinical, and there are no validated laboratory biomarkers.
PROCEDURE
We prospectively evaluated the specificity and sensitivity of plasminogen-activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and protein C as diagnostic markers of VOD in WT patients. Fifty patients treated from 2008 to 2016 for WT were eligible. VOD was diagnosed according to modified Seattle criteria and retrospectively reclassified according to the recently published criteria for VOD in pediatric HSCT patients.
RESULTS
VOD occurred in 6 of 50 patients (12%) after 20 to 97 days from starting chemotherapy. The average duration of VOD was 10 days (range, 4-13 days). PAI-1 levels were elevated in all VOD patients, while a decrease in protein C levels was observed in 33% of patients with VOD. PAI-1 antigen (Ag) values ≥ 26.4 ng/mL demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for the clinical diagnosis of VOD with sensitivity 100%, specificity 93%; whereas protein C levels below 34.5% had sensitivity 67%, specificity 100%. Both PAI-1 and protein C had an high negative predictive value: PAI-1 Ag 100%; protein C 95%.
CONCLUSIONS
PAI-1 Ag and protein C have good sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of VOD in WT patients. Their high negative predictive value can be used in the differential diagnosis of liver toxicity, especially in VOD episodes with absent or delayed hyperbilirubinemia.
