Classification of Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) and Treatment of Metabolic Abnormalities of TLS
Laboratory TLS:
• Uric acid ≥ 8.0 mg/dL
• Potassium ≥ 6.0 mEq/dL
• Phosphorus ≥ 4.6 mg/dL
• Calcium ≤ 7.0 mg/dL
Clinical TLS:
• AKI (defined as creatinine > 1.5x the upper limit of normal for patient age and sex)
• Cardiac arrhythmia
• Seizure, tetany, or other symptomatic hypocalcemia
Treatment of TLS:
• Hypovolemia - Intravenous fluids
• Renal failure - Dialvsis
• Hyperuricemia - Allopurinol, Rasburicase
• Hyperphosphatemia - Aluminum hydroxide
• Hyperkalemia - Standard treatment
• Hypocalcemia - Calcium gluconate
