We recommend that a traditional lipid panel be obtained in this patient. We do not believe that the additional information that the VAP panel provides any more information than the traditional panel in terms of an evidence and consensus based approach to cardiovascular risk reduction. Royce Morrison MDConsultant re safety in clinical trials27 April 2020 Post-Splenectomy - emphasis on risk of sepsis Dear Consult Guys,I learned a lot from your answers regarding the patient with remote curative treatment for Hodgkin's Disease. I recall spending a whole medical student clerkship holding retractors at staging laparotomies/splenectomies for Dr. Kaplan's patients. In later career, a patient with history of post-traumatic splenectomy, with all recommended immunizations and warning to seek attention for any significant sore throat nevertheless died of overwhelming streptococcal sepsis after just such a sore throat. So this is a plea to strongly emphasize the proactive management of sepsis risk in those patients. Thank you! Yehia Y.

Would you recommend that the patient undergo a VAP lipid panel to determine subfractions of cholesterol not measured with the traditional lipid panel?
