X-Linked Proliferative Disease: Recommended Surveillance 1

System/ConcernEvaluationFrequency
Gastroenterology/
Hepatology
Monitor for liver dysfunction w/hepatic profiles (serum transaminases, bilirubin, triglycerides, lactate dehydrogenase) & coagulation studies (prothrombin time, PTT, fibrinogen)As needed based on clinical status / eval for early evidence of HLH
Monitor for signs & symptoms of colitis & cholangitis, in those w/XLP2.At each visit
Hematology / Spleen / Lymph nodes / Oncology Physical exam for evidence of hepatosplenomegaly & lymphadenopathy
Measurement of CBCAs needed based on clinical status / eval for early evidence of HLH
Immunologic Measurement of serum IgG levelsAs needed based on phenotype. Serial immunoglobulin evals are recommended if person has recurrent respiratory infections.
Measurement of serum inflammatory markers (ferritin, soluble IL2RA)As needed based on clinical status / eval for early evidence of HLH
Infection EBV-PCR in blood for evidence of EBV infectionIf symptoms of infection or HLH develop
Neurologic History & physical exam for evidence of any neurologic changesAt each visit
Family/Community Assess family need for social work support (e.g., palliative/respite care, home nursing, other local resources), care coordination, or follow-up genetic counseling if new questions arise (e.g., family planning).

CBC = complete blood count; EBV = Epstein-Barr virus; FIM = fulminant infectious mononucleosis; HLH = hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis; Ig = immunoglobulin; IL2RA = interleukin-2 receptor alpha; PCR = polymerase chain reaction; PTT = partial thromboplastin time

Unless otherwise specified, all recommendations listed in this table pertain to individuals diagnosed with either XLP1 or XLP2.
