Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most common malignancies, especially in young people. Combination chemotherapy for ALL typically includes corticosteroids (Kantarjian et al., 2000). Hyperglycemia is a well-recognized complication of corticosteroids, and chemotherapy-induced diabetes (CID) is not uncommon (27.5%-37.0%) during the treatment of ALL (Hsu et al., 2002; Weiser et al., 2004; Alves et al., 2007). Besides the effect of corticosteroids, potential factors triggering hyperglycemia in ALL also include direct infiltration of the pancreas by leukemia cells and β cell dysfunction induced by chemotherapeutic agents such as L-asparagine (Mohn et al., 2004).
急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,尤其在年轻人中。ALL 的联合化疗通常包括皮质类固醇(Kantarjian 等人,2000)。高血糖是皮质类固醇的一种公认并发症,在 ALL 的治疗过程中,化疗诱导的糖尿病(CID)并不少见(27.5%-37.0%)(Hsu 等人,2002 年;Weiser 等人,2004 年;Alves 等人,2007 年)。除了皮质类固醇的作用外,导致 ALL 患者高血糖的潜在因素还包括白血病细胞对胰腺的直接浸润,以及化疗药物如 L-天冬酰胺引起的β细胞功能障碍(Mohn 等人,2004 年)。
