- Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a serious and often fatal complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and there currently is no standard treatment for it.
- In a study of 1,228 patients who received allogeneic HSCT, 5% developed this complication, primarily within 30 days post-transplant, with umbilical cord blood recipients at a significantly higher risk than those receiving peripheral blood or bone marrow.
- Factors such as delayed engraftment of neutrophils or platelets, as well as the use of myeloablative regimens, were associated with a higher incidence of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and significantly worse survival outcomes for affected patients.
