Rasburicase induced methemoglobinemia: A systematic review of descriptive studies.

Rasburicase administration should be followed by careful monitoring of patients for any severe complication and treat it as early as possible appropriately. In a patient who presents with rasburicase-induced haemolysis or methemoglobinemia, it is often important to expect a diagnosis of G6PD deficiency unless otherwise confirmed and to avoid administering methylene blue, even though the patient is from a low-risk ethnicity for G6PDD.
