Tumour lysis syndrome symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle cramps, paraesthesia, seizures, reduced urine output, arrhythmias and other effects linked to metabolic disturbances.
Tumour lysis syndrome signs can include irregular pulse, abnormal blood pressure, muscle twitching, oliguria, haematuria, arrhythmias, neurological changes and seizures.
