TLDR
A high variability is observed in the use of rasburicase in adult patients with hematological neoplasias and a protocol for its administration is presented according to which, depending on the patient´s risk of developing TLS (tumoral lysis syndrome), standard prophylaxis is administered to low-risk patients and rasBuricase is administered initially for 1-3 days to patients with high risk of developed TLS.

Rasburicase in Tumor Lysis Syndrome of the Adult: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: Rasburicase is effective in reducing serum uric acid levels in adults with TLS but at a significant cost, and evidence currently is lacking in adults to report whether rasBuricase use improves clinical outcomes compared with other alternatives.

Rasburicase in the management of tumor lysis: An evidence-based review of its place in therapy

TL;DR: Rasburicase is now a standard of care for patients at high risk of TLS despite continuing debate on the correlation between its profound and rapid lowering of plasma uric acid levels with hard patient outcomes, eg, need for renal replacement therapy and mortality.

Tumor lysis syndrome in intensive therapy: diagnostic and therapeutic encare

TL;DR: Diagnostic tools are provided that allow to the ICU physician to recognize the population at high risk for developing the TLS, and outline a proper strategy for treating and preventing this serious complication.

Síndrome de lisis tumoral

TL;DR: This is a female patient who presented tumor lysis syndrome, which constitutes an oncologic emergency as in tumor cells either spontaneously or more often with tumor treatment, uric acid release, potassium and phosphorus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Síndrome de lisis tumoral en terapia intensiva: encare diagnóstico y terapéutico

TL;DR: The TLS can be observed before starting the treatment due to spontaneous tumor cell death, and it worsens when chemotherapy is initiated, so that its prevention continues to be the most important therapeutic measure.

Acute tumor lysis syndrome: A review of 37 patients with Burkitt's lymphoma

TL;DR: Renal and metabolic complications of tumor lysis during 46 episodes of remission induction chemotherapy were reviewed in 37 patients with American Burkitt's lymphoma, finding that major complications following chemotherapy were associated with very large tumors, high LDH levels and inadequate urinary output.

Recombinant Urate Oxidase for the Prophylaxis or Treatment of Hyperuricemia in Patients With Leukemia or Lymphoma

TL;DR: Rasburicase is safe and highly effective for the prophylaxis or treatment of hyperuricemia in patients with leukemia or lymphoma, and none of the patients required dialysis.

Tumor lysis syndrome.

TL;DR: Novel approaches in the management of TLS include the use of urate oxidase, which can provide effective treatment with an acceptable safety profile, and aggressive hydration might lead to volume overload, specifically in older patients.

Rasburicase (recombinant urate oxidase) for the management of hyperuricemia in patients with cancer: Report of an international compassionate use study

TL;DR: Rasburicase, a recombinant urate oxidase that converts uric acid into the soluble compound allantoin, has been shown to control hyperuricemia faster and more reliably than allopurinol.
