AI Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how often chronic kidney disease (CKD) happens in patients who received a specific type of stem cell transplant called autologous HSCT.
- Out of 41 patients, 6 developed CKD, and many had symptoms like protein in their urine or nephrotic syndrome (a type of kidney problem).
- The study found that a certain kidney problem called mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis was present in some patients, and taking a medicine called prednisone helped many of them.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has increasingly been reported. However, CKD after autologous HSCT, especially changes in renal pathology, has rarely been reported. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of CKD among patients who received autologous HSCT for hematological and nonhematological disorders, and analyze its clinical and pathological features.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study to evaluate the frequency of CKD after autologous HSCT and analyzed clinical and pathological features of CKD. Clinical records of patients who underwent autologous HSCT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between May 2000 and November 2010 were screened. Clinical data of those with kidney injury on presentation and follow-up were acquired from hospital records.
Results: A total of 41 patients who received autologous HSCT were identified. CKD developed in six patients (14.6%). Among the six patients, all had various degrees of proteinuria and three patients had nephrotic syndrome. Impaired renal function occurred in three patients. Three patients with nephrotic syndrome received only prednisone. Two patients obtained complete remission, and one had partial remission. What is particularly worth mentioning is, in two patients who received renal biopsy in our study, the pathological changes were mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
Conclusions: Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis may not be as uncommon as previously thought in CKD patients after autologous HSCT. Presentation of nephrotic syndrome is common in CKD after HSCT and prednisone alone are effective.

Objective: Diabetes is a potential late consequence of childhood and young adult cancer (CYAC) treatment. Causative treatments associated with diabetes have been identified in retrospective cohort studies but have not been validated in population-based cohorts. Our aim was to define the extent of diabetes risk and explore contributory factors for its development in survivors of CYAC in the United Kingdom.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is initially highly sensitive to chemotherapy, which often leads to significant tumor reduction. However, the majority of patients eventually develop resistance, and the disease is further complicated by its "cold" tumor microenvironment, characterized by low tumor immunogenicity and limited CD8+ T cell infiltration. These factors contribute to the poor response to immunotherapy in many cases of extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC).

Nephrotic syndrome is characterised by heavy proteinuria secondary to glomerular injury. It is an uncommon but serious complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), but rarely reported after autologous HSCT. Here, we report the case of a man in his mid-20s who presented with significant peripheral oedema 2 months after autologous HSCT for Hodgkin lymphoma.

Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and chemotherapy are considered potentially curative options for post-remission therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the comparative effectiveness of these approaches in favorable- and intermediate-risk AML remains unclear and requires further investigation.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 111 patients diagnosed with de novo favorable- and intermediate-risk AML, categorized according to the ELN 2022 guidelines, were investigated to compare outcomes following autologous HSCT (auto-HSCT), matched sibling donor HSCT (MSD-HSCT), and chemotherapy.

Introduction: CD7 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T cell) therapy is an emerging method for treating hematological malignancies, and is another breakthrough in CAR-T cell therapy.
Methods: This study summarizes the currently published clinical research results on CD7 CAR-T cells and evaluates the safety and effectiveness of CD7 CAR-T cell therapy.
Results: Among the 13 studies included in this study, a total of 200 patients received CD7 CAR-T cell therapy, including 88 patients who received autologous CAR-T cells, 112 patients who received donor derived CAR-T cells.
