Starting Dose for Patients with Renal Impairment
Degree of renal impairment	Revlimid dose
Moderate*	10mg every 24 hours
Severe⁺	15mg every 48 hours
End Stage, requiring dialysis⁺⁺	5 mg once daily. On the dialysis days, Revlimid should be given after dialysis.

⁺Severe: CLcr < 30 mL/min; dialysis not required
⁺⁺End Stage, requiring dialysis: CLcr < 30 mL/min

Guidelines for Additional Revlimid Dose Changes for Serious Side Effects* Low Platelet Counts
When platelet counts:	Recommendation
Fall to <30,000/mcL Return to ≥30,000/mcL	Interrupt Revlimid treatment. Check platelet counts with weekly blood tests Restart Revlimid at a lower dose, usually 15 mg daily*
For each subsequent drop <30,000/mcL Return to ≥30,000/mcL	Interrupt Revlimid treatment. Resume Revlimid at 5 mg less than the previous dose. Do not go below a 5 mg daily dose

*Typical starting dose of Revlimid is 25mg/day, Minimum dose: 5 mg/day

Low White Blood Cell Counts
When white blood cells:	Recommendation
Fall to <1000/mcL Return to ≥1000/mcL and low white blood cells is the only side effect	Interrupt Revlimid treatment Add white blood cell growth factor (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor known as G-CSF) Check white blood cell counts weekly (blood tests) Resume Revlimid at 25 mg daily
Return to ≥1000/mcL , but the patient is experiencing other side effects	Resume Revlimid at 15 mg daily
For each subsequent drop <1000/mcL Return to ≥1000/mcL	Interrupt Revlimid treatment Resume Revlimid at 5 mg less than the previous dose. Do not go below a 5 mg daily dose

*Typical starting dose of Revlimid is 25mg/day, Minimum dose: 5 mg/day

Other Serious Side Effects (Potentially Life-Threatening, Grade 3 or 4)
For other serious side effects considered to be related to Revlimid, your doctor will temporarily stop treatment. After the side effect has significantly improved (to a mild or moderate level or ≤ grade 2) Revlimid can be re-started at a lower dose.
