Clinical Characteristics of Transplant-associated Encephalopathy in Children

Abstract: We aimed to analyze characteristics of encephalopathy after both hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ pediatric transplantation. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 662 pediatric transplant recipients (201 with liver transplantation [LT], 55 with heart transplantation [HT], and 67 with kidney transplantation [KT], 339 with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [HSCT]) who received their graft organs at Asan Medical Center between January 2000 and July 2014. Of the 662 patients, 50 (7… Show more

“…The data from adult literature also mention similar incidence of encephalopathy in the post‐LT period. Jeong‐Le et al in their analysis on encephalopathy in solid organ recipients have described liver recipients to have an increased at risk of post‐transplant encephalopathy, possibly due to the underlying metabolic disturbances 17 . In our cohort, two patients had persisting encephalopathy in the post‐LT period.…”

One patient had an uneventful recovery on follow-up, while the other patient has died due to graft dysfunction complicated by gram negative sepsis.…”

“…(3) Algumas complicações que acometem o Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC) são consideradas causas importantes de morbimortalidade após o TCTH. (4)(5)(6) Estudos clínicos relatam alterações neurológicas em 11 a 59% dos pacientes. O transplante alogênico, com doador aparentado ou não e a ocorrência de DECH foram os fatores de risco mais significativos para o desenvolvimento de complicações neurológicas.…”
