Background: Adverse effects on reproductive function are a key concern in young women treated with chemotherapy for advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma. We aimed to identify risk factors for the extent of ovarian damage in women with Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with different chemotherapy regimens to inform accurate advice on options for fertility preservation.
Methods: We recruited female participants from the randomised phase 3 RATHL trial, aged 18-45 years, based on availability of participants at recruiting sites in the UK.
Article Synopsis
- Immune-mediated hemolysis is a significant complication after transplantation, yet mechanisms connecting various cases are often overlooked.
- The study reviewed three patient cases to highlight different types of immune-mediated red blood cell destruction post-transplantation, illustrating complexities such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia and passenger lymphocyte syndrome.
- Proper understanding of the causes of posttransplant immune hemolysis is essential for effective management, especially as doctors see more long-term survivors from unrelated bone marrow and peripheral blood transplants.
