PET scan. f/u bone marrow biopsy consistent w/ ALL. Began HyperCVAD/IT chemo
■ Acute e – rapid onset and progression ■ Lympho hoblas astic ic – immature white blood cells ■ Leukem kemia ia – bone marrow or blood ■ Rapid creation and proliferation of immature white blood cells (leukemic lymphoblasts) in the blood and bone marrow. ■ Etiology unknown – acquired vs. genetic
– Begins in bone marrow
■ Childhood vs. adult onset ■ Incidence: 6,000 new cases x 1 year ■ Anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia ---> pancytopenia

■ Symptoms – Fatigue – Weakness – Dizziness – Fever – Chronic infections – Bruising easily – Bleeding at the gums or nose – Night sweats – Wt loss; decreased appetite ■ Treatment – 4 phases
1. Induction therapy 2. Consolidation therapy
3. Maintenance therapy 4. Preventative therapy
■ Chemotherapy or radiation ■ PRBC, platelets ■ MNT
– Neutropenic diet – High-energy, high protein
(1/30 – 1-31) ■ Admitted for final chemo cycle ---> C6 HyperCVAD/IT tx
HyperCVAD: Cyclophophamide Vincristine Sulfate Adriamycin Dexamethasone Methotrexate (MTX) also given intrathecally
■ Thrombocytopenia, hypomagnesemia r/t ALL + chemo ■ Lasix r/t chronic edema ■ Afib controlled with Beta-blocker; no anticoagulation therapy ■ MST 0; tolerating tx well; no new concerns

■ MTX = essential component of chemo; used to treat a wide range of cancers ■ Interferes with folic acid metabolism – competitive inhibitor ■ Prevents synthesis of thymidine + purines, DNA ---> stops cell division ■ Risk for renal toxicity ■ Pathophysiology : MTX metabolite crystallization
– Blockage of renal tubules – Decreased renal flow, GFR – Reduced ability to clear MTX
■ MTX also associated with hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, mucositis
■ Frequent monitoring is essential
– Serum creatine, BUN – Serum MTX – Electrolytes – Urine output
■ Cornerstones of care:
– Hydration (2.5-3 L/day pre-tx) – Urine alkalinization(pH >7) – Leucovorin “rescue” (@ 24-36 hr)
Serum MTX Goals: 24 hr: ≤ 5.0 umol/L 48 hr ≤ 0.5 umol/L 72 hr ≤ 0.1 umol/L
▪ Dose: 12 mg ▪ Hydration: IVFs @ 50 mL/hr ▪ Bicarb infusion ▪ Started on Leucovorin ▪ Elevated BUN, creatine ▪ Low GFR (84 ---> 27) ▪ Nephrology following

■ Continued need for research
– AKI common with chemotherapy tx
Syndrome
■ Better prevention, prophylaxis
■ I feel the appropriate approach to MNT was taken with this patient: NPO ---> TPN ---> Puree + TPN ---> TPN ■ Opportunity to apply field knowledge in context of larger medical picture ■ Was able to gain interdisciplinary and ICU experience ■ Appreciated the opportunity to follow and work on a TPN for a length of time – Improved knowledge + confidence
