Intravenous fluids can help the kidneys to flush out toxins in the urine.
Cammalleri L, Malaguarnera M. Rasburicase represents a new tool for hyperuricemia in tumor lysis syndrome and in gout. Symptoms of this abnormality include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and seizures.
Precipitation of uric acid crystals results in declining glomerular filtration, and ultimately, acute renal failure.
The key is identifying those patients at highest risk, instituting preventive measures, and performing close monitoring for symptoms and laboratory abnormalities in order to detect changes before they become life-threatening.Treatment is divided into two sections, preventative and acute treatment. Decreased kidney function and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) at baseline also increases risk. Most often, TLS is associated with the administration of induction chemotherapy, but it has been reported to occur with radiation therapy, corticosteroids, hormonal agents, biologics, monoclonal antibodies, intrathecal chemotherapy and chemo-embolization. Careful correction of electrolyte imbalances is required. Patients with G-6PD deficiency should not receive rasburicase because severe hemolysis can develop.
This drug can cause anaphylactic reaction and nurses should have appropriate medications (diphenhydramine and epinephrine) at the bedside. Medications such as allopurinol and rasburicase reduce uric acid levels in the blood and may be prescribed.Even with preventive measures, TLS can still develop. When he received low-dose vincristine therapy daily with high-dose prednisone therapy given on alternate days, a fatal tumor lysis syndrome occurred. Discover information about different types of cancerLearn about cancer, diagnosis, treatment, coping & survivorshipFind resources & tools for oncology healthcare professionalsTumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a life-threatening oncologic emergency characterized by metabolic abnormalities that can occur during rapid tumor breakdown in response to anti-cancer treatment. Uric acid has low solubility (does not dissolve easily); therefore, it can build up in the kidney resulting in kidney failure and possibly death eventually. Uricemia can also result in a blockage of the ureter(s), causing hematuria, flank pain, oliguria, hypertension, fluid overload (CHF and edema), lethargy, and cloudy, sediment filled urine.Hyperkalemia results from the kidney's inability to clear the massive amount of intracellular potassium that has been released due to cell breakdown.
This can cause heart or kidney problems and lead to kidney failure.
This leads to a rapid drop in blood calcium levels, which may clinically present as agitation, tetany, severe muscle cramping and twitching, laryngospasm, and cardiac arrhythmias.TLS can range from a few abnormal lab values to the other extreme, which include renal failure and cardiac disturbances. Patients who are dehydrated and those with existing kidney dysfunction are at higher risk of developing TLS.What Are the Symptoms of TLS, and How Is It Diagnosed?Symptoms are generally nonspecific and can include:Kidney failure and death can occur, especially if TLS is left untreated.TLS is diagnosed based on blood tests, along with signs and symptoms.
It is caused by the death, or lysis, of large numbers of cancer cells. ICU Mind Map — Tumour Lysis Syndrome; Oncology Quandary 005 — Troubling Lab Strife; Journal articles and textbooks.
It may be necessary to institute a renal diet, which is low in potassium and phosphorus.Education for the patient and family should include symptoms to be reported, a discussion of the patient's typical diet, and what foods should be avoided (those high in potassium & phosphorus; bananas, oranges, tomatoes, milk products, prepared/processed foods, sodas, chocolate and nuts). Bloodwork is repeated frequently to assess electrolyte levels and kidney damage, and the heart rhythm and urine output are closely monitored. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a condition that occurs when a large number of cancer cells die within a short period, releasing their contents in to the blood.
