Massive uric acid nephrolithiasis with progressive renal failure due to spontaneous tumour lysis syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) is a constellation of meta- bolic complications due to the rapid destruction of malignant cells, causing renal, cardiac or cerebral dysfunction. Electrolyte abnormalities include hyperuricaemia, hyperphosphataemia, hyperkalaemia and hypocalcaemia. TLS-induced renal failure is mainly caused by uric acid and calcium phosphate crystal deposition and usually develops following cytotoxic chemotherapy. Here, we present a case of spontaneous TLS in a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) with massive uric acid stone and crystal formation and rapidly worsening renal failure. Autopsy revealed underlying tumourous kidney infiltration. Risk factors for occurrence of TLS and current therapeutic management are discussed.

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a known complication of malignancy and its treatment. The incidence varies on malignancy type, but is most common with hematologic neoplasms during cytotoxic treatment. Spontaneous TLS is thought to be rare. This case study is of a 62-year-old female admitted with multisystem organ failure, with subsequent diagnosis of aggressive B cell lymphoma. On admission, labo...

Acute tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) is a catastrophic complication of the treatment of certain neoplastic disorders. It most commonly occurs in association with hematologic malignancies and appears a few hours to a few days after initiation of specific chemotherapy, as the result from the release of intracellular components into the bloodstream due to abrupt malignant cell death. Acute spontaneou...
متن کاملAvoiding dialysis in tumour lysis syndrome: is urate oxidase effective? - a case report and review of literature.
INTRODUCTION Hyperuricaemia in tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) can cause acute renal failure (ARF), necessitating dialysis. Recombinant urate oxidase (rasburicase) converts uric acid to soluble allantoin, which is excreted easily. CASE REPORT An 8-year-old boy with stage 3 Burkitt's lymphoma, TLS was successfully treated with hyper-hydration, diuretics and rasburicase, without dialysis. This is t...
