Abstract

It may be advisable to test lung vessel pressures in patients treated for Gaucher disease. Two patients with Gaucher disease were successfully treated with alglucerase therapy but later developed high blood pressure in their lung arteries. These abnormalities were first suspected after a routine chest X-ray. There was, however, no evidence of characteristic Gaucher cells in lung tissue samples. It is unclear why these patients developed high blood pressure in their lung arteries after treatment.
