Q: What is the recommended dose of Solu-Medrol in DIFFUSE ALVEOLAR HEMORRHAGE?


Answer: 500 mg every 6 hours

Corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents are the gold standard for this disease. Factor VII has recently shown promising results.

Recommended dose of intravenous methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol) is up to 500 mg every 6 hours for 5 days, followed by a taper to a maintenance dose. Though higher and lower doses have been described too.

Also, Plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy should be considered too in cases related to vasculitis.
