Early renal injury after nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia.

Am J Nephrol 27(4):336-41 (2007) PMID 17519537

Renal insufficiency is a common complication early after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Over the past several years, significant advancement has been achieved in HSCT, especially in nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation. Compared with traditional HSCT, nonmyeloablative HSCT employs significantly lower doses of chemoradiotherapy and lower toxicity. The current study evaluated renal insufficiency during the first 100 days in patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) who underwent nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT) in a single center.
