Effect of Serum Albumin Level (at Admission) on the Overall Outcome of the Treatment of Childhood Standard Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

This research was designed to study the impact of malnutrition Patients who complete treatment and alive: 27 96% based upon anthropometric measurement (MAD) and malnutrition Patients who relapsed but alive: 00 based upon visceral protein level (MVP) on hospitalization stay, Patients who expired: 01 4% capability of patient to receive full dose treatment and overall Total number of patients: 70 outcome of childhood standard acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Patients with (ALBUMIN) Grade II: 15 the developing countries Patients who completed treatment and alive: 05 33% The majority of children on earth are to be found in the third Patients who relapsed but alive: 03 20% world, many of them malnourished members of impoverished Patients who expired: 07 46% families. Thus the effects of nutritional status (NS) on the Total number of patients: 70 therapeutic response of children with cancer are obviously Patients with (ALBUMIN) Grade III: 24 relevant. Patients who complete treatment and alive: 00 00% In Pakistan more than 80 % children are malnourished and more Patients who relapsed but alive: 01 4% than 51 % are moderate to severe malnourished (UNICEF Patients who expired: 23 96% Children World, 1996), Which might be a vital poor prognostic Total number of patients: 70 factor for lower event free survival and outcome, even when Patients with (ALBUMIN) Grade IV: 0
