Wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt amyloidosis), caused by the age-related destabilization of the transthyretin (TTR) tetramer, has has garnered significant attention in aging societies. The advent of disease-modifying therapies for ATTR amyloidosis, such as TTR stabilizers, offers effective treatment but has simultaneously sparked debate regarding the appropriate TTR concentration to target during therapy. This study focused on the underlying clinical factors contributing to the increase in TTR concentration after the initiation of tafamidis treatment.
Efficacy
Exploratory
Pragmatic
Not applicable
Identification of background factors contributing to increase transthyretin concentration before and one year after tafamidis initiation.

| Not applicable |
Male and Female
Retrospective study involving all patients with ATTRwt amyloidosis who initiated oral tafamidis treatment at Shinshu University Hospital between September 2019 and September 2025.Patients were retrospectively enrolled if they had documented serum TTR concentration measurements both before (baseline) and 1 year after the initiation of tafamidis.
Exclusion criteria included the absence of both pre- and 1-year post-treatment serum TTR measurements and cases lost to follow-up.
