Introduction:
In hypercalcemia, the calcium level in the body increases above the normal level. The calcium level in the body increases due to kidney cancer. Due to kidney cancer, the kidneys do not work properly and due to this, the calcium level in the body increases and due to this, the calcium level in the body increases and it results in hypercalcemia.
Etiology:
bone bone destruction by tumor cell,
excessive use of calcium,
inadequate absorption of calcium in the body.
Diagnostic evaluation:
serum calcium level exceeding 11mg/dl ( Serum calcium level more than 11mg/dl. )
Management:
Provide proper fluids to the patient.
Provide diuretic medicine to the patient.
Use calcitonin to lower calcium levels.
Identify patients who are at risk of developing hypercalcemia.
Provide education to patients and family members To do.
Explain to the patient that dietary and pharmacological interventions such as stool softeners and laxatives should be used.
Tell the patient to maintain his nutritional status.
Provide antiemetic medicine if the patient is nauseated and vomiting.
Instruct the patient to move around a little.
pericardial effusion:
Introduction:
In this, fluid collects in the pericardial (the topmost membrane of the heart) due to lung and esophagus cancer. It is called pericardial effusion.
History tacking and physical examination (History Taking and Physical Examination),
E.C.G.( E.C.G. ),
chest x-ray( Chest X-ray),,
ultrasound( Ultrasound )
ct scan (CT Scan),
MRI (m. r. i.).
Management:
pericardial aspiration.
Closely monitor ECG.
Instruct cardiologist while performing pericardial aspiration.
Carefully monitor cardio vascular pressure.
Maintain hygienic condition of patient.
Maintain the nutritional status of the patient.
Give reassurance to the patient.
Provide a comfortable position to the patient.
Provide comfort to the patient.
Monitor the patient for any other complications.
Disseminate intravascular coagulopathy:
Introduction:
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a serious condition where the body’s blood clotting system becomes overactive and widespread, leading to abnormal blood clotting and excessive bleeding. It is not a disease in itself, but a complication of other underlying conditions. DIC involves systemic activation of coagulation, leading to microvascular thrombosis (small blood clots) and potentially life-threatening hemorrhage due to the consumption of platelets and clotting factors. This bleeding can occur both internally and externally.
Etiology:
Haematological Cancer,
Prostate Gland Cancer,
Abnormality in Gastrointestinal track and Lungs.
Chemotherapy,
sepsis,
Hepatic failure (hepatic failure).
Diagnostic evaluation:
History tacking and physical examination,
decrease hemoglobin,
decrease hematocrit Hematocrit),
Elevated fibrinogen split products,
positive protamine sulfate precipitation test.
clinical manifestation( symptoms and signs ):
blood clot formation,
greater risk for Impaired circulation,
tissue hypoxia,
fibrinolysis may occur.
Management:
Check the patient’s vital signs.
Check the patient’s intake output.
Check the patient’s skin integrity.
Check the patient’s vital signs and especially temperature.
Check the patient’s visual acuity.
Check if the patient has chest pain.
Check if the patient has abdominal tenderness.
Check the patient’s body orifices through which the tube was inserted to see if there is any bleeding.
Perform laboratory tests on the patient.
Assess the patient’s oxygen level.
Apply more pressure to the site where the patient’s vein was punctured.
Maintain the patient’s oral hygiene.
Teach the patient deep breathing exercises.
Provide the patient with a comfortable and functional environment.
Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH):
Introduction:
Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH) This is a condition in which the uncontrolled release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from an abnormal tumor or due to abnormal stimulation of the hypothalamic pituitary network occurs and due to this, the volume of extracellular fluid increases and a condition of hyponatremia (low level of sodium in body) occurs.
Etiology:
cancer of lungs (lung cancer),
Antineoplastic agents also stimulate ADH (antidiuretichormone) secretion.
clinical manifestation (symptoms and signs ):
A person’s personality changes.
irritability Occurs.
Vomiting (vomiting),
Increase Weight (weight gain),
Head Ache (headache),
Fatigue (fatigue),
confusion (confusion),
seizure ( hesitating),
abnormal reflexes ( Abnormal reflexes ),
papilledema ( Papilloedema ),
coma ( Coma ),
death ( Death ).
Diagnostic evaluation (Diagnostic Evaluation):
History tacking and physical examination (History Taking and Physical Examination),
decrease creatinine And Albumin (Decreases creatinine and albumin).
Management:
Reduce fluid intake to 500 to 1000 ml/day Intake fluid.
Use diuretic therapy.
Monitor the patient’s intake output.
Check the patient’s level of consciousness.
Listen to the patient’s lungs and heart sounds.
Check the patient’s vital signs. –>
Check the patient’s weight daily.
Check the patient’s urine specific gravity.
Get the patient’s laboratory tests done.
Check the patient’s electrolytes.
Get the patient’s blood and urine tests done.
Reduce the patient’s activity level.
Maintain the patient’s oral hygiene.
Maintain the patient’s environmental safety and advise them to reduce fluid intake.
Provide the patient with coping and psychological therapy.
Tumor lysis syndrom ( Tumor lysis syndrome ):
Introduction:
Tumor lysis syndrome is a complication in which cancerous tumors break down. This complication is caused by chemotherapy and radiation therapy in which cancerous tumors break down and due to which the fluid of the cancerous tumor is released and accumulates in the body and the kidneys do not function properly and due to this, intracellular fluid collects in the body and An oedematous condition occurs. And this condition is very fatal i.e. harmful.
Etiology:
Immidiatly cell breakdown after chemotherapy
High-grade lymphoma (such as Burkitt lymphoma)
Acute leukemia(ALL, AML)
Large or rapidly growing tumor
After radiation therapy
CAR-T or Targeted Therapy
Ureter disease or dehydration
Spontaneous TLS – very rare, tumor cells break down without treatment
