Pediatr Emerg Care. 1989 Dec;5(4):231-3. doi: 10.1097/00006565-198912000-00008.

Abstract

Hyperphosphatemia is an infrequent complication of the tumor lysis following induction therapy for lymphoproliferative disorders that can result in acute renal failure. We report a case of severe hyperphosphatemia resulting in transient acute renal failure corrected rapidly by hemodialysis.
