A fluid containing the contents of lysed cells is called a lysate.
In 2004, Cairo and Bishop defined a classification system for tumor lysis syndrome. [15] Laboratory tumor lysis syndrome: abnormality in two or more of the following, occurring within three days before or seven days after chemotherapy. uric acid > 8 mg/dL or 25% increase; potassium > 6 meq/L or 25% increase; phosphate > 4.5 mg/dL or 25% increase
lysis of adhesions Loss of Appetite LOC: loss of consciousness level of consciousness (e.g., "altered LOC from head trauma") LOF: leakage of fluid LOH: loss of heterozygosity: LOI: loss of imprinting LOL: little old lady (often LOL in NAD—see House of God) lymph-obligatory load: LOM: limitation of motion LOP: left occiput posterior (fetal ...
Pronunciation follows convention outside the medical field, in which acronyms are generally pronounced as if they were a word (JAMA, SIDS), initialisms are generally pronounced as individual letters (DNA, SSRI), and abbreviations generally use the expansion (soln. = "solution", sup. = "superior").

This is a list of abbreviations used in medical prescriptions, including hospital orders (the patient-directed part of which is referred to as sig codes).This list does not include abbreviations for pharmaceuticals or drug name suffixes such as CD, CR, ER, XT (See Time release technology § List of abbreviations for those).
CRS needs to be distinguished from symptoms of the disease itself and, in the case of drugs, from other adverse effects—for example tumor lysis syndrome requires different interventions. As of 2015, differential diagnoses depended on the judgement of doctor as there were no objective tests. [5]
