Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation could be complicated by acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. It may be due to either previous chemotherapy or exposure to a variety of nephrotoxic drug or other causes. The aim of the study was to assess biomarkers of kidney injury in patients at least 3 months after hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) under ambulatory care of the Hematology, Transplantation and Internal Medicine Department.

Background: The risk of morbidity and mortality in the group of people qualified for kidney transplantation is high. Although currently, the qualification for kidney transplantation is very extensive and detailed, the final examination and assessment at the transplant center is crucial for the success of the transplantation.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is the treatment of choice in various hematologic diseases, and kidney transplantation (KTx) is the best therapy for end-stage kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs relatively often after both types of transplantations. Anemia after both HSCT and KTx may be due to CKD and other reasons.

The aim of the review is to present the most common renal complications after HSCT such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease glomerulopathies. HSCT is a critical therapy for many cancer patients with cancer, as well as patients with some other nonmalignant hematologic disorders and certain congenital immune deficiencies. Kidney complications after HSCT in a form of acute kidney injury is associated with significant morbidity and worse patient outcome.

Kidney function in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is frequently worsened by previous chemotherapy and exposure to a variety of nephrotoxic drugs. The aim of the study was to assess biomarkers of kidney injury in patients at least 3 months after HSCT under ambulatory care of the Hematology, Oncology and Internal Medicine Department. We studied 80 prevalent patients after allogeneic HSCT and 32 healthy volunteers to obtain normal ranges for biomarkers.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study involving 150 patients with various types of leukemia and lymphoma revealed that chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3a and 3b were present in 24.6% of participants, with none progressing to stages 4 or 5.
  • * The findings showed that the prevalence of CKD varied based on the underlying disease and suggested that prior chemotherapy and other medications might contribute to kidney damage, although the younger age of patients may have prevented more severe CKD.
