It is typically related to a high tumor burden, rapidly growing and chemosensitive malignancies. ATLS is characterized by the presence of hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia and acute renal failure. The administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy causes tumor death and tissue necrosis which leads to release of inflammatory mediators precipitating this syndrome. However, it has been rarely reported in hematological malignancies without administration of chemotherapy, and has been referred to as spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome （STLS）. STLS is even more infrequent in solid tumors.展开更多
文摘Introduction Acute tumor lysis syndrome （ATLS） is a well-described oncological emergency that is usually associated with hematological malignancies complicated by treatment.
