Overview
Tumor lysis syndrome is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment. [1]
Medical Therapy
The treatment of tumor lysis syndrome is a multidisciplinary effort between nephrologist, hematologist, and intensivist.[2][3]
- Intravenous fluids:
- Aggressive hydration 3 l/m2/d
- Maintain urine output 4ml/kg/h for infants and 100ml/m2/h for adults
- Avoid adding potassium in hydration fluids
- Fluid loss should be measured, such as vomiting and diarrhea
- Elderly, infants, and patients with cardiac disease are at high risk of developing hypervolemia
- Mannitol 0·5 mg/kg
- Furosemide 0·5–1·0 mg/kg; 2–4 mg/kg in case of severe oliguria or anuria
- Note: Alkalization of urine is not recommended to increase the excretion of uric acid (the use of sodium bicarbonate is controversial).[4]
- Electrolytes disturbance:
- Hyperphosphataemia: treatment should be initiated if phosphorus levels are ≥2·1 mmol/l
- Avoid intra venous phosphate
- Aluminium hydroxide; poorly tolerated
- Hypocalcemia: treatment should be initiated if calcium levels are ≤1·75 mmol/l
- Asymptomatic: no treatment needed
- Symptomatic: calcium gluconate 50–100 mg/kg IV
- Cardiac monitoring is recommended if calcium level drops below ≤1.75mmol/l
- Asymptomatic (≥6·0 mmol/l):
- Avoid potassium administration
- Cardiac monitoring
- Sodium polystyrene sulphonate
- Symptomatic (>7·0 mmol/l):
- Cardiac monitoring
- Calcium gluconate 100–200 mg/kg IV and/or
- Regular insulin 0·1 unit/kg IV + D25 2 ml/kg IV
- Dialysis
- Allopurinol 10 mg/kg/d divided q8 h, reduce the dose by 50% in renal failure
- Rasburicase 0·05–0·20 mg/kg IV over 30 min
- Note: the duration of treatment depends on the clinical response.
- Acute renal failure prior to chemotherapy:
- Acute renal failure after chemotherapy:
- The major cause of acute renal failure in this setting is hyperphosphatemia, and the main therapeutic means is hemodialysis. Forms of hemodialysis used include continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis (CAVHD), continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH), or continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD).
