Inflammation contributes to development of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), and tumor biomarkers can reflect inflammatory and immune status. We aimed to determine the value of tumor biomarkers in IPAH comprehensively. We enrolled 315 patients with IPAH retrospectively. Tumor biomarkers were correlated with established indicators of pulmonary hypertension severity. Multivariable Cox regression found that AFP (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.587, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.014-2.482, p = 0.043) and CA125 (HR: 2.018, 95% CI: 1.163-3.504, p = 0.013) could independently predict prognosis of IPAH. The changes of AFP over time were associated with prognosis of patients, each 1 ng/mL increase in AFP was associated with 5.4% increased risk of clinical worsening (HR: 1.054, 95% CI: 1.001-1.110, p = 0.046), enabling detection of disease progression. Moreover, beyond well-validated PH biomarkers, CA125 was still of prognostic value in the low-risk patients (HR: 1.014, 95% CI: 1.004-1.024, p = 0.004), allowing for more accurate risk stratification and prediction of disease outcomes. AFP and CA125 can serve for prognosis prediction, risk stratification, and dynamic monitor in patients with IPAH.
