Abstract:
Metabolic abnormalities occur relatively frequently in lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy. These abnormalities include hyperuricemia, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hyponatremia, and hyperkalemia. In addition, tumor lysis syndrome can result in several metabolic abnormalities, leading to potential renal failure. If these syndromes are identified promptly, they can be corrected. Guidelines for identifying metabolic abnormalities in lymphoma patients, as well as management suggestions, are presented

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
