Initial workup: BMP, Serum uric acid, LDH, Urine output, Consider urinary uric acid : creatinine ratio
Laboratory changes:
• Uric acid ≥ 8 mg/dL
• Potassium ≥ 6 mEq/L
• Phosphorus ≥ 4.5 mg/dL
• Calcium ≤ 7 mg/dL
• OR 25 % change in baseline in any of the above
Treatment of Clinical TLS:
• IV fluids
• Rasburicase
• Treat electrolyte abnormalities
• Cardiac monitoring
