Tumor Lysis Syndrome

Also written as TLS.

Close attention to the medical supportive care needs of the patients is essential in successfully administering aggressive chemotherapeutic programs.\nPatients with high WBC counts are especially prone to tumor lysis syndrome as therapy is initiated.

What our notes say

• Close attention to the medical supportive care needs of the patients is essential in successfully administering aggressive chemotherapeutic programs.\nPatients with high WBC counts are especially prone to tumor lysis syndrome as therapy is initiated. (The Leukaemias)
• Tumor lysis syndrome is a specific form of AKI related to spontaneous or chemotherapy-induced cell lysis in patients with lymphoproliferative malignancies. (Acute Kidney Injury)
• Recovery of renal function is likely after AKI resulting from prerenal causes, ATN, acute interstitial nephritis, or tumor lysis syndrome. (Acute Kidney Injury)
• tilation include controlled hyperventilation to reduce with renal failure, tumor lysis syndrome, crush injuries, (Harrisons Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
• Endogenous: myeloma proteins, uric acid (tumor lysis syndrome), systemic oxalalosis\nB. (Harrisons Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
• High cell turnover eg tumor lysis syndrome, hemolytic anemia, psoriasis, radiation (Gout)
