Nephrotic Syndrome After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Incidence And Outcomes

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: The NIH Consensus recognizes nephrotic syndrome (NS) as part of the chronic GVHD symptomatology, however the incidence and outcomes of this manifestation have not been well-defined. To characterize this complication, we conducted an IRB-approved retrospective review of 626 consecutive patients (age>16 yrs: [MRD], n=352; [MUD], n=274) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) between October 2000 and December 2007 at the University of Michigan. Conditioning regimens included full intensity (FIC) in 470 patients and reduced intensity (RIC) in 156 patients.
