Question
What is the new treatment for Gaucher disease? Any information about how to diagnosis gaucher?
Answer
Bone marrow demonstration of glycolipid-laden macrophages in bone marrow aspirate is diagnostic. Confirmation of diagnosis can be done by estimation of Acid beta-glucosidase activity in blood. Enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease is now available.The macrophage targeted acid beta-glucosidase is highly effective in reversing the visceral and hematologic manifestations of Gaucher disease, but skeletal disease is slow to respond. Treatment typically is administered once every other week . (30-60 U/kg IV q2wk)
