When a treatment kills cancer cells faster than the body can clear their contents, flooding the blood with potassium, phosphate and uric acid and injuring the kidneys and heart. Risk is highest in bulky CLL and high-count AML, which is why venetoclax starts at a tiny dose and ramps up over weeks.
Hyperuricaemia, hyperkalaemia, hyperphosphataemia, hypocalcaemia, and acute kidney injury after rapid cell kill. Risk is highest with bulky CLL and high counts in AML. Venetoclax uses a 5-week ramp-up in CLL (20→400 mg) and a 3-day ramp in AML, with hydration, allopurinol or rasburicase, and monitoring; sonrotoclax uses a 4-week ramp.
