Acute uric acid nephropathy causes

Acute uric acid nephropathy is usually seen as part of the tumor lysis syndrome in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the treatment of malignancies with rapid cell turnover, such as leukemia and lymphoma. It may also occur in these patients before treatment is begun, due to spontaneous tumor cell lysis.

Acute uric acid nephropathy can also be caused by an acute attack of gout.
