Abstract:
BACKGROUND Advanced urothelial carcinoma has been associated with poor prognosis due to high resistance to chemotherapy and radiation until immunotherapeutic agents, such as atezolizumab, emerged as an option and have shown improved survival. However, atezolizumab is associated with side effects, which were mainly autoimmune. In this case study, we report on a rare case of atezolizumab-induced tumor lysis syndrome. CASE REPORT A 67-year-old female with a primary diagnosis of metastatic urothelial carcinoma who presented to the emergency department with generalized weakness associated with nausea and vomiting 8 days after her first cycle of atezolizumab. Laboratory values showed hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia, hypocalcemia, and acute kidney injury consistent with tumor lysis syndrome. CONCLUSIONS In our report, we highlight tumor lysis syndrome as a potential reaction to atezolizumab; a condition that requires prophylaxis and close laboratory monitoring.
