Overview

If left untreated, patients with tumor lysis syndrome may progress to develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, hematuria, palpitations, and muscle cramps. Common complications of tumor lysis syndrome include hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia. Prognosis is generally good, if not associated with acute renal failure.[1]

Natural History

If left untreated, patients with tumor lysis syndrome may progress to develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, hematuria, heart palpitations, and muscle cramps. Eventually, tumor lysis syndrome may lead to death.[1] [2]

Complications

Prognosis

The prognosis of tumor lysis syndrome is good with treatment and if not associated with renal failure. Without treatment, tumor lysis syndrome will result in cardiac arrhythmia and electrolytes disturbance.[1]
