Definition of risk organ involvement in LCH-IV

Hematopoietic involvement (with or without bone marrow involvement*), at least 2 of the following: 
 Anemia: hemoglobin <100 g/L (<10 g/dl), infants <90 g/L (<9.0 g/dL), not a result of other causes (eg, iron deficiency) 
 Leukocytopenia: leukocytes <4.0 × 109/L (4000/μL) 
 Thrombocytopenia: platelets <100 × 109/L (100 000/μL) 
Spleen involvement enlargement: 
 >2 cm below costal margin in the midclavicular line 
Liver involvement, one or more of the following: 
 Enlargement >3 cm below costal margin in the midclavicular line 
 Dysfunction (ie, hypoproteinemia <55 g/L, hypoalbuminemia <25 g/L, not as a result of other causes) 
 Histopathological findings of active disease

*

Bone marrow involvement is defined as presence of CD1a positive cells on marrow slides.

Enlargement in centimeters below the costal margin as assessed by physical examination.
