Abstract
A 48-year-old gentleman who had recently commenced chemotherapy for diffuse B-cell lymphoma was admitted to hospital with nausea and generalised weakness. He developed abdominal pain and oliguric acute kidney injury with multiple electrolyte derangements and was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). His condition deteriorated, requiring endotracheal intubation and renal replacement therapy (RRT). Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) is a common and life-threatening complication of chemotherapy and represents an oncological emergency. TLS affects multiple organ systems and is best managed in the ICU with closer monitoring of fluid balance, serum electrolytes, cardiorespiratory and renal function. TLS patients may go on to require mechanical ventilation and RRT. TLS patients require input from a large multidisciplinary team of clinicians and allied health professionals.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Intensive Care Society (JICS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that strives to disseminate clinically and scientifically relevant peer-reviewed research, evaluation, experience and opinion to all staff working in the field of intensive care medicine. Our aim is to inform clinicians on the provision of best practice and provide direction for innovative scientific research in what is one of the broadest and most multi-disciplinary healthcare specialties. While original articles and systematic reviews lie at the heart of the Journal, we also value and recognise the need for opinion articles, case reports and correspondence to guide clinically and scientifically important areas in which conclusive evidence is lacking. The style of the Journal is based on its founding mission statement to ‘instruct, inform and entertain by encompassing the best aspects of both tabloid and broadsheet''.
