7. Serum and urine lysozyme (may be useful in cases with<br />

monocytic features)<br />

8. HLA Class I & II DNA-SBT— if patient candidate for<br />

allogeneic HSCT<br />

9. HSV IgM/IgG serologies<br />

10. Coagulation studies to rule out DIC including PT, PTT,<br />

fibrinogen, and D-dimer<br />

11. Lumbar puncture to assess cytology and administer<br />

chemotherapy for all ALL patients (sanctuary sites) and for<br />

AML patients with symptoms of CNS dysfunction<br />

Make sure your patient has the following:<br />

1. Central access via TLC (subclavian preferable for<br />

patient comfort but a non-compressible site) or PICC line<br />

by IV services (may refuse if platelets below their<br />

threshold-usually 50K, but can transfuse platelets in<br />

preparation of PICC)<br />

2. Preserved left ventricular systolic function as confirmed<br />

by TTE or MUGA scan before use of anthracyclines.<br />

3. Aggressive bicarbonate-containing IVFs to alkalinize the<br />

urine and prevent uric acid nephropathy from tumor lysis<br />

(Generally D5W in 1/2NS with 2 amps HCO3 @ 150<br />

cc/hour)<br />

4. Allopurinol 300 mg PO BID +/- rasburicase also for TLS<br />

prophylaxis<br />

5. Prophylactic antimicrobials, typically in the form of<br />

Levaquin 500 mg PO daily, Posaconazole 200 mg PO<br />

TID, and Famvir 250 mg PO BID (If HSV IgG/IgM+) once<br />

ANC approximately 500-1000<br />

6. Orders for daily weights and strict I/O’s (many chemo<br />

regimens have a large volume and need to watch for signs<br />

of volume overload)<br />

7. Orders for daily CMP and CBC<br />

8. Orders for daily TLS labs initially including potassium,<br />

uric acid, LDH, phosphorous, and calcium
