What parameters are assessed in Gaucher DS3 score?

DS3 assesses bone disease (marrow infiltration, avascular necrosis), organomegaly (spleen and liver volumes), and blood counts (hemoglobin and platelets).

How is spleen volume measured in Gaucher disease?

Spleen volume is measured by MRI or CT and expressed as multiples of normal (MN), where normal is 0.2% of body weight.

What are therapeutic goals in Gaucher disease type 1?

Goals include normalization of hemoglobin and platelets, reduction of organomegaly to <2-8 MN for spleen, and prevention of bone complications.

Which Gaucher disease types are treatable with enzyme replacement?

Type 1 (non-neuronopathic) and to some extent type 3 (chronic neuronopathic) can be treated; type 2 has no effective treatment.

What is substrate reduction therapy for Gaucher disease?

Substrate reduction therapy (miglustat, eliglustat) reduces glycolipid synthesis and can be used in eligible type 1 patients as an oral alternative.
