To determine the incidence and importance of abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein in children with acute leukemia, we performed a retrospective chart review. On 160 pediatric patients a total of 2,172 LPs were performed (median per patient = 15; range 1-38). Overall, 314 (14%) of CSF protein measurements were abnormal: 141 (7%) were abnormally low (<15 mg/dL) and 158 (7%) were abnormally high (>45 mg/dL). In no case did an abnormal CSF protein impact patient management. We conclude that routine measurement of CSF protein is not indicated in children with acute leukemia.
为了确定急性白血病患儿脑脊液(CSF)蛋白异常的发生率及其重要性,我们进行了一项回顾性病历审查。对160例儿科患者共进行了2172次腰椎穿刺(LPs)(每位患者的中位数为15次;范围为1 - 38次)。总体而言,314次(14%)脑脊液蛋白测量结果异常:141次(7%)异常偏低(<15mg/dL),158次(7%)异常偏高(>45mg/dL)。脑脊液蛋白异常从未影响患者的治疗管理。我们得出结论,急性白血病患儿无需常规检测脑脊液蛋白。
