Relevance: Acute renal kidney disorder is a serious complication in patients with acute leukemia who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). According to statistics, acute renal dysfunction often occurs in the first 100 days after HSCT. This study aimed to evaluate kidney function in patients with acute leukemia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: The article presents clinical cases of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed acute renal failure after HSCT. The dynamics of the functional state of kidneys in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia after HSCT are described. Results: The acute kidney disorder in the studied patients was mainly caused by HSCT complications. We have identified renal kidney damage in the form of acute tumor lysis and thrombotic microangiopathy. Conclusion: Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia risk developing acute kidney disorder during HSCT, which requires careful monitoring of kidney function, especially in the early post-transplant period.
BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) has recently been a widely used method of therapy in various fields of current medicine, particularly in hematology.Some patients develop renal disorders following HSCT. AIM: This study aims to evaluate the dynamics of changes in the functional state of the kidneys in patients with ALL after HSCT. METHODS: In the period from 2015 to 2021, for the first time in Kazakhstan, patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who underwent allogeneic and haploidentical HSCT were prospectively examined. RESULTS: We determined that the greatest decrease in glomerular filtration rate occurred in the group of patients who underwent haploidentical bone marrow transplantation. Moreover, we believe that our results are related to known contributing risk factors, such as the type of performed transplantation and the duration of taking medications for the prevention of graft versus host disease. Our results also indicate that the lethal outcome in the group with haploidentical HSCT in the studied patients with ALL was greater than in the group with allogeneic HSCT. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, a decrease in kidney function in patients who have survived HSCT is probably a common complication; however, further prospective studies are required to confirm these results to develop additional algorithms for the treatment and prevention of renal disorders in patients with acute leukemia after HSCT.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a life-saving therapy in patients suffering from acute leukemia. However, kidney complications developed after performing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can affect the course and prognosis of the disease in patients with acute leukemia. This study is aimed at assessing the functional status of the kidneys in patients with acute leukemia who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The study has observed a group of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It has been discovered that β2 microglobulin is a sensitive method of analyzing renal function, with the β2 microglobulin threshold urine level not exceeding 0.3 mg/L. The complex diagnostics of kidney function in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients has given the opportunity to identify the relationship between increased β2 microglobulin levels and decreased glomerular filtration rate. It has been determined that β2 microglobulin is a biomarker of renal disorders. The obtained data have showed that β2 microglobulin can be used as a diagnostic marker of reduced kidney function.
Relevance: Kidney functions in treating acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) undergo serious effects, especially in elderly patients. Chemotherapeutic drugs used to prepare for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) inevitably affect elderly patients’ kidney function. Moreover, involutive changes in the kidneys can physiologically decrease kidney function. The study aimed to evaluate kidney function in an elderly patient with AML after HSCT. Methods: The article describes a clinical case of AML in an elderly patient who underwent allogeneic HSCT. Results: We analyzed the dynamics of the functional state from the moment of registration of AML to +100 days after HSCT. During the entire follow-up period, we did not detect any renal dysfunction in the elderly patient. Despite the HSCT and the effects of nephrotoxic drugs in an elderly patient + 100 days after HSCT, kidney function was preserved. Conclusion: The described case highlights the importance of maintaining renal function in elderly patients after HSCT and long-term renal monitoring.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
