نبذة مختصرة : Background Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR‐CA) is a progressive and ultimately fatal cardiomyopathy. Biomarkers reflecting multiorgan dysfunction are of increasing importance in patients with heart failure; however, their significance in ATTR‐CA remains largely unknown. The aims of this study were to characterize the multifaceted nature of ATTR‐CA using blood biomarkers and assess the association between blood biomarkers and prognosis. Methods and Results This is a retrospective cohort study of 2566 consecutive patients diagnosed with ATTR‐CA between 2007 and 2023. Anemia (39%), high urea (52%), hyperbilirubinemia (18%), increased alkaline phosphatase (16%), increased CRP (C‐reactive protein; 27%), and increased troponin (98.2%) were common findings in the overall population, whereas hyponatremia (6%) and hypoalbuminemia (2%) were less common. These abnormalities were most common in patients with p.(V142I) hereditary ATTR‐CA, and became more prevalent as the severity of cardiac disease increased. Multivariable Cox regression analysis demonstrated that anemia (hazard ratio [HR], 1.19 [95% CI, 1.04–1.37]; P=0.01), high urea (HR, 1.23 [95% CI, 1.04–1.45]; P=0.01), hyperbilirubinemia (HR, 1.32 [95% CI, 1.13–1.57; P=0.001), increased alkaline phosphatase (HR, 1.20 [95% CI, 1.01–1.42; P=0.04), hyponatremia (HR, 1.65 [95% CI, 1.28–2.11]; P56 ng/L (HR, 1.72 [95% CI, 1.46–2.03]; P
