A high variability is observed in the use of rasburicase in our patients. The hematology and pharmacy services have been working jointly to prepare a consensus-based protocol according to which, depending on the patient s risk of developing TLS (tumoral lysis syndrome), standard prophylaxis is administered to low-risk patients (intravenous hydration, alopurinol and urine alcalinization) and rasburicase is administered initially for 1-3 days to patients with high risk of developing TLS.
Our findings confirm that, besides intrathecal humoral immune response against AQP4, B and T cell subsets are involved in the modulation of inflammation within and outside the central nervous system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
