Abstract

Acute leukemias are devastating diseases. Advancements in antileukemic therapy and early recognition and management of complications have led to improved survival. Some of the life-threatening complications associated with leukemias or from antileukemic treatment include tumor lysis syndrome, hyperleukocytosis with or without leukostasis, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, and cytokine release syndrome. All the complications mentioned above are associated with significant mortality. It is therefore critical to understand the pathophysiology, early signs and symptoms, and management of these complications.
