Popis: | Pegasparagase (PEG-Asparaginase) induced hypertriglyceridemia is rare in the treatment of lymphoblastic lymphoma in children. We present a case of PEG-asparaginase induced hypertriglyceridemia that was incidentally identified and suspicion of its interference with sodium measurement in the clinical laboratory. The use of a direct ion selective method clarified the presence of true hyponatremia. The patient was treated with an oral Fenofibrate therapy which resolved the hypertriglyceridemia. This case highlights that PEG-asparaginanse and Olazanpine can induce hypertriglyceridemia in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and it may be useful to obtain baseline triglyceride measurements for these patients. |
