A)Tumor lysis causes a metabolic emergency. The release of intracellular contents into the circulation cause hyperkalemia, hyperuricemia, and hyperphosphatemia, which may lead to cardiac arrhythmias, renal failure, and even death. Thrombocytopenia occurs with a hematological emergency. Space-occupying lesions can cause respiratory distress and upper-extremity edema.
