    • Platelet count ≥100000 cells per mm3 or ≥20000 cells per mm3 in the case of known hematopoietic system involvement by LCH.
    • Creatinine clearance [according to Cockcroft formula] ≥60 mL/min.
    • Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤2·5×upper limit of normal [ULN], and total bilirubin ≤2·5×ULN; or ≤10×ULN in the case of known liver involvement by LCH.
