CR indicates complete remission; PD, progressive disease requiring further therapy; CR-RD, CR with residual marrow hairy cells 1% to 5%; ND, not done, NR, no response; NA, not applicable, and SD, stable disease.

*

Reference range, less than 970 U/mL or 200 to 1100 U/mL (depending on assay); for conversion to pg/mL, multiply by factor of 8.85
