Critical Care Pediatric Nephrology and Dialysis: A Practical Handbook

Abstract

In this chapter we will discuss the relative risk of toxic (pigment) nephropathy in certain disease states. We will discuss the specific complication associated with uric acid, rhabdomyolysis, as well as that associated with tumor lysis syndrome. This section will also discuss the relative approaches to prevention and intervention if necessary.
