This case report highlights sorafenib as maintenance therapy postallogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in a young patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with FMS-like tirosine kinase-3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation. Given the high relapse risk in FLT3-ITD-positive AML, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib was administered. Several studies have shown that sorafenib improves survival in younger AML patients when combined with chemotherapy, though side effects can limit use in older patients.

Early post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has an almost invariably dismal prognosis. Recent studies have demonstrated that FLT3 inhibition enhances the graft-versus-leukemia effect in vitro and in vivo. Thus, FLT-3 inhibitors may be viable treatment options in this setting.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is currently the only viable method of curing patients with acute myeloid leukaemia. In 30% to 50% of patients, donors and recipients have some level of ABO blood group incompatibility. ABO blood group incompatibility can cause antibodies against the donor's red blood cells to persist in the recipient's body, resulting in a delay of several months in the recovery of red blood cells.

Most authors have used immunosuppression for its treatment to target the underlying immune-mediated processes, akin to graft-versus-host disease, but the optimal management is currently unclear. Limited reports in the literature described the use of a conservative approach with success, particularly in cases with lower risks of progression, such as non-nephrotic-range proteinuria or early reduction of proteinuria by 6 months.
