Pathophysiology of Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS)
Tumor Cell Lysis
-> Release of DNA
 • Purines -> Hypoxanthine / Xanthine -> Uric Acid (low urinary excretion) -> Allantoin (High urinary excretion)
 • Phosphorus -> Ca-Phos Precipitation
=>
 • Urate Nephropathy (low urine pH)
 • Ca-Phos nephropathy (high urine pH)
 • Hypocalcemia
 • Hyperkalemia
