The treatment of patients with acute leukemia, who due to their religious beliefs refuse to accept blood transfusion, is a great challenge for hematologists.
We present a case of acute pre-T-lymphoblastic leukemia in a Jehovah's Witness who did not accept blood transfusion during chemotherapy. Standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy was used (according to the PALG ALL-6 regiment).
During consolidation cycles, darbepoietin alfa, intravenous iron, and total parenteral nutrition was administered. Extreme (Hb < 5 g/dL), long-lasting (41 days) anemia was observed with the lowest Hb concentration amounting to 1.3 g/dL (lasting 7 days).
We believe this to be the lowest Hb value observed, particularly one that persisted for such a long period of time and resulted in the patient surviving without consequences. The patient remains in complete remission for more than 2 years after diagnosis.
对于因宗教信仰拒绝接受输血的急性白血病患者,其治疗对血液科医生而言是巨大挑战。
我们呈现1例耶和华见证会成员患急性前T淋巴细胞白血病,在化疗期间不接受输血。采用了标准诱导和巩固化疗(根据PALG ALL - 6方案)。
在巩固周期中,给予了聚乙二醇化促红细胞生成素α、静脉铁剂和全胃肠外营养。观察到严重(血红蛋白<5 g/dL)、持续时间长(41天)的贫血,最低血红蛋白浓度达1.3 g/dL(持续7天)。
我们认为这是所观察到的最低血红蛋白值,尤其是持续如此长时间且患者无不良后果存活的情况。患者确诊后完全缓解超过2年。
