Tumor lysis syndrome may be classified according to the 1993 Hande-Garrow classification system into two groups:

  • Laboratory tumor lysis syndrome: these patients have positive laboratory findings with no signs or symptoms
  • Clinical tumor lysis syndrome: these patients have life threatening medical signs and require urgent medical interventions
