It is essential to use age-specific normal reference values, as healthy infants and children usually have levels that would be considered elevated in adults. [4] Additionally, ALP levels are "not well defined" as of 2020, and can vary by sex and by racial group. [ 5 ]
When there is a stimulus, the CRP level can increase 10,000-fold from less than 50 μg/L to more than 500 mg/L. Its concentration can increase to 5 mg/L by 6 hours and peak at 48 hours. The plasma half-life of CRP is 19 hours, and is constant in all medical conditions. [30]
A minor though statistically insignificant incidence of virilization has been observed in women treated with nandrolone decanoate short-term at a dosage of 100 mg every 2 weeks for 12 weeks. [3] Conversely, long-term (>1 year) studies have shown significant virilization in women even at a dosage of 50 mg every 2 or 3 weeks. [3]
Tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibody, was FDA approved for steroid-refractory CRS based on retrospective case study data. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Lenzilumab , an anti-GM-CSF monoclonal antibody, is also clinically proven to be effective at managing cytokine release by reducing activation of myeloid cells and decreasing the production of IL-1, IL-6 ...

[40] In children the short term use of steroids by mouth increases the risk of vomiting, behavioral changes, and sleeping problems. [41]
