چکیده

We report two cases that presented with unexplained acute renal failure and hyperuricemia and were subsequently diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The patients improved with conservative therapy without the need for dialysis. Case 1 is the youngest case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome reported to date, and Case 2 presented with spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome without hyperleukocytosis.

Identification of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at low risk for tumor lysis syndrome

Background and Objective: Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) could occur before, during or after the initiation of chemotherapy in patients with cancers especially those with hematologic malignancies. This study was designed to determine the prevalence and predictors of TLS in children with Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (ALL) and to develop a sensitive prediction rule to identify patients at low risk of...

Spontaneous Fatal Tumor Lysis Syndrome in a Patient with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma/Leukemia: Successful Treatment with Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy and Increasing-Dose Gradually Chemotherapy

Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) results from massive necrosis or apoptosis of large proliferating tumors and is characterized by marked hyper uricemia, hyperkalemia, and hyper phosphatemia secondary to cell lysis and the metabolism of excessive nucleic acids. Clinically significant TLS, with end-organ compromise, occurs in approximately 5% of all patients with hematologic malignancies and in up to 2...

MicroRNAs as a New Molecular Biomarker for Diagnosis and Prognosis of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL): A Systematic Review

MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. Several studies have described the role of miRNAs in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), including tumor suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs. Down-regulation of miRNA expression is a prominent feature of human malignancy. This down-regulati...
