The Impact of Histologic Portal T-Cell Density on the Clinical Outcomes in Hepatic Graft-versus-Host Disease and Autoimmune Liver Diseases. Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:1745. [PMID: 39202234 PMCID: PMC11353783 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14161745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Hepatic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) significantly impacts morbidity and mortality among allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. However, the relationship between clinical and immunopathological phenotypes and their influence on clinical outcomes in hepatic GVHD is not well understood. In this study, we aimed to study the implications of portal T-cell infiltration on the clinical outcomes in hepatic GHVD and its similarities to autoimmune liver disease. We analyzed 78 patients with biopsy-confirmed hepatic GVHD (n = 38) or autoimmune liver disease (n = 40) between 2016 and 2021. The cholestatic variant was defined by an R-value < 2.0, based on the ratio of alanine aminotransferase to alkaline phosphatase. The primary outcome was the biochemical response at 4 (early) and 8-12 (late) weeks after corticosteroid treatment. In hepatic GVHD patients, the hepatitic variant (n = 19) showed greater CD3+ T-cell infiltration than the cholestatic variant (n = 19; p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in the infiltration of CD20+, CD38+, or CD68+ cells. The hepatitic variant had significantly better early and late responses and higher liver-related event-free survival than the cholestatic variants (p < 0.05). Concerning autoimmune liver diseases, the autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) group had significantly more portal T-cell infiltration and better treatment responses than the primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) group. In conclusion, higher portal T-cell infiltration may be associated with better clinical outcomes in patients with hepatic GVHD. Additionally, this study highlights similarities in portal T-cell infiltration and treatment response patterns between AIH and the hepatitic variant, as well as PBC and the cholestatic variant.

[PMID: 39046389 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcyt.2024.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS There are few descriptions of the epidemiology of chronic liver disease (CLD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Among those transplanted before 2000, viral hepatitis was the dominant cause of CLD. Recently, the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, previously known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) is increasing in the general population. In addition, survivors of allo-HCT are known to be at increased risk of metabolic syndrome. We set out to describe the epidemiology of CLD in a modern cohort of allo-HCT recipients. We hypothesized that MASLD would be the most common cause of CLD in the cohort. METHODS We undertook a retrospective cohort and nested case-control study of 2-year survivors of allo-HCT in Alberta transplanted between 2008 and 2018. RESULTS Among 392 2-year survivors of allo-HCT between 2008 and 2018, the prevalence of CLD was 41.8% and MASLD was identified in 56% of those with CLD, followed by iron overload in 47% of those with CLD. The prevalence of MASLD among the entire cohort was 46%. Although most patients developed CLD before 2 years post-transplant, there was a 13% cumulative incidence of new CLD after 2 years posttransplant. Grade 2-4 acute graft-versus-host disease and/or moderate-to-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease and pretransplant CLD were strongly associated with CLD. In the case-control study examining the association between cardiovascular risk factors and CLD, type 2 diabetes was associated with CLD. Cirrhosis developed in 1.5% of survivors, and MASLD was an underlying etiology in one half of these cases. There was no difference in overall survival and non-relapse mortality between those who did and did not develop CLD. CONCLUSIONS MASLD is the main cause of CLD in recent long-term survivors of allo-HCT and may be associated with post-transplant corticosteroid exposure and type 2 diabetes. We note a shift in the underlying etiology of CLD post-HCT: previous studies describe viral hepatitis as the most common cause of CLD. The high prevalence of MASLD in allo-HCT recipients has important implications for survivorship care.

Abstract
As hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and cellular therapy expand to new indications and international access improves, the volume of HCT performed annually continues to rise. Parallel improvements in HCT techniques and supportive care entails more patients surviving long-term, creating further emphasis on survivorship needs. Survivors are at risk for developing late complications secondary to pre-, peri- and post-transplant exposures and other underlying risk-factors. Guidelines for screening and preventive practices for HCT survivors were originally published in 2006 and updated in 2012. To review contemporary literature and update the recommendations while considering the changing practice of HCT and cellular therapy, an international group of experts was again convened. This review provides updated pediatric and adult survivorship guidelines for HCT and cellular therapy. The contributory role of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) to the development of late effects is discussed but cGVHD management is not covered in detail. These guidelines emphasize special needs of patients with distinct underlying HCT indications or comorbidities (e.g., hemoglobinopathies, older adults) but do not replace more detailed group, disease, or condition specific guidelines. Although these recommendations should be applicable to the vast majority of HCT recipients, resource constraints may limit their implementation in some settings.

Autotaxin is a potential predictive marker for the development of veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Ann Hematol 2024; 103:1705-1715.

Abstract
Veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), and stratification of the high-risk group before transplantation is significant. Serum autotaxin (ATX) levels have been reported to increase in patients with liver fibrosis caused by metabolic inhibition from liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. Considering that the pathophysiology of VOD/SOS begins with liver sinusoidal endothelial cell injury, an increase in serum ATX levels may precede the onset of VOD/SOS. A retrospective study with 252 patients, including 12 patients with VOD/SOS, who had received allo-HCT was performed. The cumulative incidence of VOD/SOS was higher in the group with serum ATX levels before conditioning (baseline ATX) above the upper reference limit (high ATX group, p < 0.001), and 1-year cumulative incidences were 22.7% (95% confidence interval [95%CI], 3.1-42.4%) and 3.5% (95%CI, 1.1-5.8%), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, elevated baseline ATX was identified as an independent risk factor for VOD/SOS development and showed an additive effect on the predictive ability of known risk factors. Furthermore, the incidence of VOD/SOS-related mortality was greater in the high ATX group (16.7% vs. 1.3%; p = 0.005). Serum ATX is a potential predictive marker for the development of VOD/SOS.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative option for several hematological malignancies. Its use has continued to grow, with an estimated 23,500 transplants performed annually in the United States alone. The acute toxicities that occur from conditioning chemotherapy can impact the peri-transplant period and have substantial implications on patients' tolerability and outcomes, irrespective of the treatment of their disease. Chemotherapy-induced nausea vomiting (CINV), mucositis, transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, also known as a veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD) can all have significant implications for patients. These acute complications begin with the start of conditioning chemotherapy and add to potential toxicity for patients throughout the early post-transplant period, from Day +30 for CINV, mucositis, and SOS, and which can continue through at least Day +100 with the onset of TA-TMA. These toxicities must be prevented and managed appropriately. This review will summarize the literature surrounding them and guide their management.

International Recommendations for Screening and Preventative Practices for Long-Term Survivors of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy: A 2023 Update. Transplant Cell Ther 2024; 30:349-385. [PMID: 38413247 PMCID: PMC11181337 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2023.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
As hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and cellular therapy expand to new indications and international access improves, the number of HCTs performed annually continues to rise. Parallel improvements in HCT techniques and supportive care entails more patients surviving long term, creating further emphasis on survivorship needs. Survivors are at risk for developing late complications secondary to pretransplantation, peritransplantation, and post-transplantation exposures and other underlying risk factors. Guidelines for screening and preventive practices for HCT survivors were originally published in 2006 and then updated in 2012. An international group of experts was convened to review the contemporary literature and update the recommendations while considering the changing practices of HCT and cellular therapy. This review provides updated pediatric and adult survivorship guidelines for HCT and cellular therapy. The contributory role of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) to the development of late effects is discussed, but cGVHD management is not covered in detail. These guidelines emphasize the special needs of patients with distinct underlying HCT indications or comorbidities (eg, hemoglobinopathies, older adults) but do not replace more detailed group-, disease-, or condition-specific guidelines. Although these recommendations should be applicable to the vast majority of HCT recipients, resource constraints may limit their implementation in some settings.

Utility of liver stiffness measurement in the diagnosis of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. J Med Ultrason (2001) 2024; 51:311-321. [PMID: 38112930 DOI: 10.1007/s10396-023-01392-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to assess the role of liver stiffness measurement (LSM), evaluated using transient elastography (TE), for the diagnosis of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease (VOD), a complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS In this retrospective study, ultrasonography (US) and LSM were performed on 86 adult patients (55 men and 31 women) undergoing HSCT between January 2016 and December 2022. Characteristics and changes in liver stiffness (LS) were compared between patients with and without SOS/VOD. RESULTS Of the 86 patients, 14 were diagnosed with SOS/VOD. A significant increase in LS (ranging from 12.6 to 55.1 kPa, median 23.8 kPa) compared to pre-HSCT values was observed in all patients who developed SOS/VOD. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for the diagnosis of SOS/VOD was 0.9663 (0.933-0.995) for LS ≥ 17.4 kPa after HSCT. Post-transplant LS exceeded 17.4 kPa in all 14 patients in the SOS/VOD group (100%) and in seven patients in the non-SOS/VOD group (9.7%). The sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 90.3%, respectively. AUROC for the diagnosis of SOS/VOD was 0.973 (0.943-1.000) for LS increase ≥ + 12.6 kPa from baseline after HSCT. The change of ≥ + 12.6 kPa from baseline was observed in all 14 patients in the SOS/VOD group (100%) and in four patients in the non-SOS/VOD group (5.6%). The sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 94.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION LSM using TE may contribute to establishing the diagnosis of SOS/VOD after HSCT.

Hepatobiliary disease after bone marrow transplant: A cross-sectional study of 377 patients. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2024; 59:71-79. [PMID: 37833826 DOI: 10.1111/apt.17756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a standard treatment for several haematologic conditions. Following BMT, patients may develop hepatobiliary complications that impact morbidity and mortality. The differential diagnosis may include drug-induced liver injury (DILI), sepsis-associated liver injury (SALI), sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), viral hepatitis, ischaemic hepatitis, and fulminant hepatitis. AIMS To evaluate the frequency, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients with hepatobiliary alterations associated with BMT in a tertiary referral centre. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study with data collected from the medical records of patients undergoing BMT between January 2017 and June 2022. We diagnosed hepatobiliary complications based on established criteria. RESULTS We included 377 patients; 55.7% had hepatobiliary complications. Female gender, pre-BMT hepatobiliary alteration, and haploidentical allogeneic transplantation were associated with increased risk with odds ratios (OR) of 1.8 (p = 0.005), 1.72 (p = 0.013) and 3.25 (p = 0.003), respectively. Patients with hepatobiliary complications spent longer in the hospital than those without (27.7 × 19.3 days, respectively; p < 0.001). Among 210 patients with hepatobiliary complications, 28 died compared to 5 of 167 without complications (OR 4.98; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Hepatobiliary complications are frequent in patients undergoing BMT. There is a greater risk of their occurrence in women, people with pre-BMT liver alterations, and in haploidentical transplants. The occurrence of these complications increases the length of stay and is associated with a higher risk of death.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is one of the serious complications that may develop after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), for hematologic malignancies, solid organ transplantation, and other hematologic disorders. GVHD develops due to T lymphocytes present in the graft attacking the host antigens, which results in tissue damage. A significant number of HCT patients develop acute or chronic GVHD, which may affect multiple organs including the liver. The diagnosis of hepatic GVHD (hGVHD) is challenging as many other conditions in HCT patients may lead to liver dysfunction. Particularly challenging among the various conditions that give rise to liver dysfunction is differentiating sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) from hGVHD on clinical grounds and laboratory tests. Despite the minimal risks involved in performing a liver biopsy, the information gleaned from the histopathologic changes may help in the management of these very complex patients. There is a spectrum of histologic features found in hGVHD, and most involve histopathologic changes affecting the interlobular bile ducts. These include nuclear and cytoplasmic abnormalities including dysmorphic bile ducts, apoptosis, and cholangiocyte necrosis, among others. The hepatitic form of hGVHD typically shows severe acute hepatitis. With chronic hGVHD, there is progressive bile duct loss and eventually fibrosis. Accurate diagnosis of hGVHD is paramount so that timely treatment and management can be initiated. Techniques to prevent and lower the risk of GVHD from developing have recently evolved. If a diagnosis of acute GVHD is made, the first-line of treatment is steroids. Recurrence is common and steroid resistance or dependency is not unusual in this setting. Second-line therapies differ among institutions and have not been uniformly established. The development of GVHD, particularly hGVHD, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is the standard treatment for several hematologic pathologies. Post-BMT patients may develop hepatobiliary complications that impact morbidity and mortality. The differential diagnosis may include drug-induced liver injury (DILI), sepsis-associated liver injury (SALI), sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), viral hepatitis, ischemic and fulminant hepatitis, among others. AREA COVERED Defining the etiology of hepatobiliary injury is challenging due to the overlapping symptoms. Thus, it is necessary to be aware of and understand the clinical characteristics of these hepatobiliary complications and provide adequate management with possible better outcomes. We reviewed the scientific literature focused on early hepatobiliary complications associated with BMT. We searched the PubMed database using the following descriptors: hepatic complications, drug-induced liver disease, graft-versus-host disease, cholestasis, sepsis, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, cytomegalovirus, viral hepatitis, bone marrow transplantation, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. EXPERT OPINION Post-BMT hepatobiliary complications comprise several differential diagnoses and are challenges for the hepatologist's clinical practice. When evaluating these patients, it is necessary to consider the temporality between the use of certain medications, the increase in liver enzymes, and the presence of infection, in addition to applying diagnostic criteria and complementary tests for a specific diagnosis.

Abstract
Abdominal ultrasound exams play a major role in the diagnosis of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD). The development of portable hand-held ultrasound devices (HHUS) has been shown to facilitate the diagnosis of many diseases, but little data on the value of HHUS in the diagnosis of SOS/VOD are available. We performed a study aimed at validating portable ultrasound (US) devices in the setting of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT). Sixteen evaluable patients undergoing allogeneic HCT were studied using conventional US and HHUS during the first 3 weeks after transplant. The results obtained demonstrate that there is a close correlation between conventional and handheld ultrasound examination in the measurement of the right hepatic lobe (r = 0.912, p < 0.0001), the left hepatic lobe (r = 0.843, p < 0.0001), the portal vein (PV) (r = 0.724, p < 0.0001), and the spleen (r = 0.983, p < 0.0001) based on Pearson’s correlation. The same data, analyzed through Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient, evidenced a substantial level of agreement in the comparison of the spleen and right hepatic lobe, while a lower grade of agreement in the measurement of the portal vein and left hepatic lobe. Moreover, there was good agreement between results obtained by the two types of ultrasound devices in assessing ascites (p < 0.0001), gallbladder thickening (p < 0.0001), and the direction of PV flow (p < 0.0001). HHUS device allows the study of HokUs-10 parameters with an excellent agreement with conventional US, and may contribute to SOS/VOD diagnosis.

Abstract
Hepatic graft-versus-host disease (HGVHD) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Clinical findings and liver biomarkers are neither sensitive nor specific. The relationship between clinical and histologic diagnoses of HGVHD was assessed premortem and at autopsy. Medical records from patients who underwent HSCT at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center between 2000 and 2012 and expired with autopsy were reviewed, and laboratory tests within 45 days of death were divided into 15-day periods. Clinical diagnosis of HGVHD was based on Keystone Criteria or NIH Consensus Criteria, histologic diagnosis based on bile duct injury without significant inflammation, and exclusion of other potential etiologies. We included 37 patients, 17 of whom had a cholestatic pattern of liver injury and two had a mixed pattern. Fifteen were clinically diagnosed with HGVHD, two showed HGVHD on autopsy, and 13 had histologic evidence of other processes but no HGVHD. Biopsy or clinical diagnosis of GVHD of other organs during life did not correlate with HGVHD on autopsy. The diagnostic accuracy of the current criteria was poor (κ = -0.20). A logistic regression model accounting for dynamic changes included peak bilirubin 15 days before death, and an increase from period -30 (days 30 to 16 before death) to period -15 (15 days before death) showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.77. Infection was the immediate cause of death in 68% of patients. In conclusion, liver biomarkers at baseline and GVHD elsewhere are poor predictors of HGVHD on autopsy, and current clinical diagnostic criteria have unsatisfactory performance. Peak bilirubin and cholestatic injury predicted HGVHD on autopsy. A predictive model was developed accounting for changes over time. Further validation is needed.

Liver-Intestinal Involvement in Graft Versus Host Disease in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Patients: Ten Years of Experience in 2 Centers of Latin America.

[PMID: 37168643 PMCID: PMC10158394 DOI: 10.1097/pg9.0000000000000211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/21/2021] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
To describe the behavior and characteristics of children with diagnosis of graft versus host disease (GVHD) with liver-intestinal involvement. Methods Retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients with history of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for diagnosis of GVHD with gastrointestinal (GI) or liver involvement, from 2 pediatric centers. Results Between 2007 and 2017, 57 pediatric patients presented with liver or intestinal GVHD; 74% with GI GVHD, 11% with liver GVHD, and 15% with liver-intestinal involvement. Diarrhea (96%) and abdominal pain (55%) were the most frequent symptoms. Endoscopies were performed in 88%, and 35% required a second procedure to confirm diagnosis. Normal-appearing mucosa was observed in 17% of upper GI endoscopies and in 29% of colonoscopies. Endoscopic pathological findings were observed mainly in colon (62%). There was greater severity on colonoscopic classification in those with liver-intestinal compromise than in those with GI compromise only. Overall mortality was 26%. Conclusion GI and liver GVHD diagnosis may present serious complications. GI involvement tends to manifest early, so it is appropriate to suspect it in the first days after transplantation, unlike liver involvement, which occurs late when other organs are involved. We did not observe a direct relationship between endoscopic and histological classification. Both GI and liver involvement in GVHD could predict greater target organ involvement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) of the liver is a complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with hepatitic and classic variants. We determined the percentage of hepatitic variant cases, compared clinicopathologic features of the two groups, and assessed prognostic factors. METHODS Fifty liver biopsy specimens from 40 patients with GVHD were studied. RESULTS Fifteen (30%) cases had moderate to marked lobular inflammation and were classified as a hepatitic variant. Bile duct damage was present in all cases. Ductular reaction, apoptosis. and endotheliitis were more commonly seen in the hepatitic variant. Hepatocyte ballooning was an independent poor prognostic factor. The median aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were higher in the hepatitic variant while alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin were higher in the classic group. Forty (80%) GVHD cases were more than 100 days after transplant, correlating to immunosuppression taper. There was response to treatment with increased immunosuppression in both groups, but time to normalization of liver function tests was higher in the hepatitic variant. CONCLUSIONS Bile duct damage was the most consistent pathologic finding in our cohort and was present in all cases of GVHD. Moderate to marked lobular inflammation can be seen in GVHD in up to 30% of cases without any other coexisting cause. Hepatocyte ballooning is an independent poor prognostic factor.

Abstract
The Janus Kinase (JAK)/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) pathway is essential for both the regulation of hematopoiesis and the control of inflammation. Disruption of this pathway can lead to inflammatory and malignant disease processes. JAK inhibitors, designed to control the downstream effects of pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic cytokines, have been successfully used in pre-clinical models and clinical studies of patients with autoimmune diseases, hematologic malignancies, and the hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) complication graft versus host disease (GVHD). In the last decade, JAK inhibitors Ruxolitinib, Fedratinib, and most recently Pacritinib have been United States Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF). Ruxolitinib was also recently approved for the treatment of steroid refractory acute as well as chronic GVHD; JAK inhibitors are currently under evaluation in the pre-HCT setting in MF and for the prevention of GVHD. This review will focus on the role of JAK inhibitors in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, the potential function of pre-HCT JAK inhibitors in patients with MF, and the role of JAK inhibitors in the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic GVHD.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) and is associated with non-relapse mortality (NRM) and quality of life (QOL). Multiple factors may contribute to AKI during allo-HCT and are often present at the same time making it difficult to determine the cause of AKI in each patient. Nephrotoxic drugs, infections, thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) are well described causes of AKI during allo-HCT. Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a major complication of allo-HCT that mainly targets the intestines, liver, and skin. However, recent studies suggest aGVHD may also attack the kidney and contribute to AKI following allo-HCT. For example, severe aGVHD is associated with AKI, suggesting a link between the two. In addition, animal models have shown donor immune cell infiltration and increased expression of inflammatory cytokines in recipient kidneys after allo-HCT. Therefore, aGVHD may also target the kidney and contribute to AKI following allo-HCT. Herein, we describe the etiology, diagnosis, risk factors, pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of renal injury after allo-HCT. In addition, we highlight emerging evidence that aGVHD may contribute to the development of AKI after allo-HCT.

Abstract
Significant morbidity and mortality have been associated with liver complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Causes and consequences of these hepato-biliary complications are various and might be life-threatening. A high misdiagnosis rate has been reported because of a weak correlation between clinical, laboratory and imaging data. Liver elastography, a liver stiffness measure, is able to assess liver fibrosis and portal hypertension in most liver diseases, but data after allo-HSCT are scarce. Our aim was to determine the interest of sequential liver stiffness measurements for the diagnosis of early hepatic complications after allo-HSCT. Over a 2-year time period, 161 consecutive adult patients were included and 146 were analyzed. Ultrasonography and elastography measurements were performed before transplantation, at day+7 and day+14 by three different experienced radiologists unaware of the patients’ clinical status. Eightyone (55%) patients had liver involvements within the first 100 days after allo-HSCT. Baseline elastography was not predictive for the occurrence of overall liver abnormalities. A significant increase in two-dimensional real-time shearwave elastography (2D-SWE) was found in patients with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). Fifteen patients (10%) fulfilled European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) score criteria and twelve (8%) reached Baltimore criteria for SOS diagnosis, but only six (4%) had a confirmed SOS. 2D-SWE at day+14 allowed early detection of SOS (AUROC=0.84, P=0.004) and improved sensibility (75%), specificity (99%) and positive predictive value (60%) over the Seattle, Baltimore or EBMT scores. A 2D-SWE measurement above 8.1 kPa at day+14 after allo-HSCT seems a promising, non-invasive, and reproducible tool for early and accurate diagnosis of SOS.

Abstract
Immunocompromised patients are a heterogeneous and diffuse category frequently presenting to the emergency department with acute surgical diseases. Diagnosis and treatment in immunocompromised patients are often complex and must be multidisciplinary. Misdiagnosis of an acute surgical disease may be followed by increased morbidity and mortality. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of surgical disease occur; these patients may seek medical assistance late because their symptoms are often ambiguous. Also, they develop unique surgical problems that do not affect the general population. Management of this population must be multidisciplinary.This paper presents the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES), Surgical Infection Society Europe (SIS-E), World Surgical Infection Society (WSIS), American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), and Global Alliance for Infection in Surgery (GAIS) joined guidelines about the management of acute abdomen in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract
At our center, we observed a series of patients who developed transudative refractory ascites secondary to noncirrhotic, non-veno-occlusive disease (VOD)-related portal hypertension after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Patients were considered to have idiopathic portal hypertension-related refractory ascites (IRA) if they developed ascites secondary to intrahepatic portal hypertension (serum ascites albumin gradient ≥1.1 g/dL or hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG] >5 mm Hg), but did not meet the clinical criteria for classical VOD/sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) and did not have any alternate etiology of portal hypertension. From our institutional database, we identified 40 patients who developed IRA after allo-HSCT between 2004 and 2018. The patients' median age at the time of allo-HSCT was 54 years (range, 21-73 years). The median time to development of IRA after allo-HSCT was 80 days (range, 16-576 days). The median number of paracentesis was 3 (range, 1-11), and 15 (38%) patients had an intraperitoneal catheter placed for continued drainage of the rapidly accumulating ascites. Portal pressures were measured in 19 patients; 6 (15%) had moderate portal hypertension (HVPG 6-9 mm Hg), and 13 (33%) had severe portal hypertension (HVPG ≥ 10 mm Hg). Liver biopsy was performed in 24 patients. None of the patients met the criteria for classical VOD/SOS (clinical/histological) or cirrhosis (histological). The cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality was 63%, and the median survival duration after the development of the IRA was 7 months (range, 0.8-125.6 months). IRA is a poorly understood and often fatal complication of allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is the leading cause of death in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Infusion of unselected donor lymphocytes (DLIs) enhances the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. However, because the infused lymphocytes are not selected for leukemia specificity, the GVL effect is often accompanied by life-threatening graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), related to the concurrent transfer of alloreactive lymphocytes. Thus, to minimize GVHD and maximize GVL, we selectively activated and expanded stem cell donor-derived T cells reactive to multiple antigens expressed by AML/MDS cells (PRAME, WT1, Survivin, and NY-ESO-1). Products that demonstrated leukemia antigen specificity were generated from 29 HCT donors. In contrast to DLIs, leukemia-specific T cells (mLSTs) selectively recognized and killed leukemia antigen-pulsed cells, with no activity against recipient's normal cells in vitro. We administered escalating doses of mLSTs (0.5 to 10 × 107 cells per square meter) to 25 trial enrollees, 17 with high risk of relapse and 8 with relapsed disease. Infusions were well tolerated with no grade >2 acute or extensive chronic GVHD seen. We observed antileukemia effects in vivo that translated into not-yet-reached median leukemia-free and overall survival at 1.9 years of follow-up and objective responses in the active disease cohort (1 complete response and 1 partial response). In summary, mLSTs are safe and promising for the prevention and treatment of AML/MDS after HCT. This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.com as #NCT02494167.

Abstract
Owing to the poor prognosis of relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) followed by effective salvage therapy is required. Inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) was developed for ALL refractory to standard chemotherapy. However, previous reports suggest that sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) risk increases in patients with HSCT receiving INO, especially with dual alkylating agents. We report a case of relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-ALL where the patient underwent haploidentical HSCT using fludarabine/total body irradiation conditioning and posttransplant cyclophosphamide. Successful engraftment was achieved without SOS development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established curative modality for various hematological malignancies and other diseases. Hepatobiliary dysfunction and subsequent sequelae constitute a common cause of morbidity and mortality in post-transplant scenario. However, data among Indian HSCT recipients is lacking. METHODS One hundred and one HSCT recipients (37 prospective and 64 retrospective) were followed up for hepatobiliary dysfunction in the post-transplant period. The causes for hepatobiliary dysfunction were categorized as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), formerly known as veno-occlusive disease (VOD); acute and chronic graft-versus- host disease (GVHD); drug-induced liver injury (DILI); viral infections and miscellaneous causes including bacterial, fungal and unknown causes based on clinical and laboratory evidence. RESULTS Among the 101 transplants, 56.44% (n = 57) were allogenic transplants, and 43.56% (n = 44) were autologous transplants. Hepatobiliary dysfunction was observed among 71 (70.30%) patients in first 30 days and overall, among 78 (77.23%) patients. Incidence of hepatobiliary dysfunction was higher among allogenic transplant patients compared to autologous transplants (91.23% vs. 59.09%, p < 0.001). The most common cause of hepatobiliary dysfunction reported was Drug-induced liver injury (DILI). In most cases, however, hepatobiliary dysfunction was multifactorial. Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (15.79%), acute liver GVHD (31.58%), chronic liver GVHD (33.33%) and viral infection/reactivation (26.32%) were reported only in allogenic transplant patients. 15 (14.85%) patients died of which 14 patients had hepatobiliary dysfunction, commonest cause being infections. CONCLUSION Our study reported a higher incidence of hepatobiliary dysfunction among Indian population post HSCT and was associated with significant mortality. In majority of the cases, the cause is multifactorial and pose a diagnostic dilemma and challenges in therapy.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a life-threatening liver complication of high- dose chemotherapy. Defibrotide is the only available therapeutic option approved for SOS. The prognosis of SOS in patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission remains unknown. The primary objective of this study was to assess the outcome of SOS patients in ICU. This retrospective study was conducted between 2007 and 2019 in 13 French ICUs. Seventy-one critically ill adult patients with SOS defined according to European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria and treated with defibrotide were included. The main reasons for ICU admission were respiratory failure and acute kidney injury. Mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, and renal replacement therapy were required in 59%, 52%, and 49% of patients, respectively. Twenty-three percent of patients experienced a bleeding event during defibrotide treatment. Hospital mortality was 54%, mainly related to multiorgan failure. Older age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00 to 1.04), mechanical ventilation (HR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.00 to 3.99), renal replacement therapy (HR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.32 to 4.91) were independent predictors of hospital mortality. Defibrotide prophylaxis (HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.92) was associated with better outcomes. Critically ill patients with SOS have a high mortality rate in the ICU, especially if organ support is required. Additional studies assessing the impact of defibrotide prophylaxis are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyperbilirubinemia is frequent in patients with hematological malignancies admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Literature about hepatic dysfunction (HD) in this context is scarce. METHODS We investigated the prognostic impact of HD analyzing a prospective multicenter cohort of 893 critically ill hematology patients. Two groups were defined: patients with HD (total bilirubin ≥33 μmol/L at ICU admission) and patients without HD. RESULTS Twenty one percent of patients were found to have HD at ICU admission. Cyclosporine, antimicrobials before ICU admission, abdominal symptoms, ascites, history of liver disease, neutropenia, increased serum creatinine and myeloma were independently associated with HD. Etiology remained undetermined in 73% of patients. Hospital mortality was 56.3% and 36.3% respectively in patients with and without HD (p < 0.0001). Prognostic factors independently associated with hospital mortality in HD group were, performance status >1 (OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.49-2.87, p < 0.0001), invasive mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.92, 95% CI = 2.69-5.71, p < 0.0001), renal replacement therapy (OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.22-2.47, p = 0.002), vasoactive drug (OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.21-2.71, p = 0.004) and SOFA score without bilirubin level at ICU admission (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.04-1.14, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS HD is common, underestimated, infrequently investigated, and is associated with impaired outcome in critically ill hematology patients. HD should be considered upon ICU admission and managed as other organ dysfunctions.

Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) are at risk for renal and hepatic complications related to curative cancer treatments. Although acute renal and hepatic toxicities of cancer treatments are well described, data regarding long-term and late-occurring sequelae or their associations with acute sequelae are less robust. This article highlights the literature on the prevalence of and risk factors for late renal and hepatic toxicity in CCSs. Studies investigating these outcomes are needed to inform surveillance practices and the development of future frontline cancer treatment protocols.

Abstract
Annually, ~50,000 patients undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) worldwide with almost 22,000 of these patients receiving HCT in the United States. HCT is a curative option for a wide range of hematologic malignancies, and advances in transplantation medicine have resulted in an increase in HCT survivors. It is anticipated that the number of HCT survivors will more than double from 242,000 in 2020 to ~500,000 in 2030. Survivors of HCT are at an increased risk of developing late complications due to exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiation in the pre-, peri-, and post-HCT phases and these cumulative exposures have the potential to damage normal tissue. This tissue damage leads to the early onset of chronic health conditions resulting in premature mortality in HCT survivors, who have a 15-year cumulative incidence of severe or life-threatening chronic health conditions exceeding 40%. Due to the significant burden of morbidity in HCT survivors and the delay in the development of long-term complications, this delicate patient population requires life-long monitoring due to the risk for neuropsychological, cardiac, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, ocular, skeletal, cardiac, endocrine, fertility, and sexual health complications, as well as secondary neoplasms. This review will focus on recent advances in screening, monitoring, and therapeutics for late-occurring or long-term complications in HCT survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because the cause of liver dysfunction after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is difficult to identify in the early stages, treatment may be delayed. Therefore, early factors associated with unfavorable outcomes of liver dysfunction must be identified. The objective of this study was to identify unfavorable prognostic factors for liver dysfunction during the early period after transplantation. METHODS We defined liver dysfunction as elevated liver or biliary enzyme levels (corresponding to Grade 2 in the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0) within 30 days of transplantation and retrospectively investigated data from 82 patients who had undergone allogeneic HSCT at our center. RESULTS Elevated liver or biliary enzyme levels were observed in almost half of the patients studied (n=40, 48.7%). Elevated total bilirubin (T-Bil) level was the most frequently observed unfavorable prognostic factor and had the greatest effect on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and non-relapse mortality (NRM) (probability of unfavorable outcome in patients without and with elevated T-Bil level: OS, 58.9% vs. 15.4%, p < 0.001; PFS, 46.4% vs. 15.4%, p < 0.001; NRM, 10.7% vs. 53.8%, p < 0.001). Moreover, the probability of an unfavorable outcome increased in relation to the degree of T-Bil elevation and absence of improvement over time in T-Bil level. CONCLUSION Elevated T-Bil level was an important marker of outcomes for liver dysfunction after allogeneic HSCT.

[PMID: 32422507 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2020.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2020] [Revised: 02/28/2020] [Accepted: 03/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gallbladder disease and need for cholecystectomy are common and significant contributors to patient morbidity and healthcare costs. Childhood cancer survivors are at elevated risk for developing cholelithiasis. However, their incidence of and risk factors for late (>5 years from diagnosis) cholecystectomy have not been studied. METHODS A total of 25,549 survivors (median age at diagnosis 6.9 years, range 0-21.0; current age 30.7 years, range 5.6-65.9) diagnosed between 1970 and 1999 and 5037 siblings were queried for self-reported cholecystectomy occurring five or more years from primary cancer diagnosis. Piecewise exponential models evaluated associations between cancer treatment exposures and late cholecystectomy. RESULTS Over a median follow-up period of 21.9 and 26.0 years, respectively, 789 survivors and 168 siblings underwent late cholecystectomy (cumulative incidence 7.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 6.5-7.8% and 6.6%, 95% CI = 5.4-7.6%, respectively; rate ratio [RR] = 1.3, 95% CI = 1.1-1.5). Compared with siblings, survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (RR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.2-1.8), soft tissue sarcoma (RR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.0-1.8) and bone cancer (RR = 1.3, 95% CI = 1.0-1.8) were at the greatest risk. In addition to attained age, female sex and increasing body mass index, exposure to high-dose (≥750 mg/m2) platinum chemotherapy (RR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.5-4.5), vinca alkaloid chemotherapy (RR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.1-1.8) or total body irradiation (TBI; RR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.2-4.2) were each associated with late cholecystectomy. CONCLUSIONS Independent of traditional risk factors for gallbladder disease, exposure to high-dose platinum chemotherapy, vinca alkaloid chemotherapy or TBI increased risk for late cholecystectomy. These findings should inform current long-term follow-up guidelines and education regarding risk for late cholecystectomy.

Abstract
The increasing indications for allogeneic stem-cell transplant in patients with hematologic malignancies and non-malignant diseases combined with improved clinical outcomes have contributed to increase the number of long-term survivors. However, survivors are at increased risk of developing a unique set of complications and late effects, besides graft-versus-host disease and disease relapse. In this setting, the management capacity of a single health-care provider can easily be overwhelmed. Thus, to provide appropriate survivorship care, a multidisciplinary approach for the long-term follow-up is essential. This review aims at summarizing the most relevant information that a health-care provider should know to establish a follow-up care plan, in the light of individual exposures and risk factors, that includes all organ systems and considers the psychological burden of these patients.

Abstract
HBV reactivation (HBVr) can occur due to the ability of HBV to remain latent in the liver as covalently closed circular DNA and by the capacity of HBV to alter the immune system of the infected individuals. HBVr can occur in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with a clinical spectrum that ranges from asymptomatic infection to fulminant hepatic failure. The risk of HBVr is determined by a complex interplay between host immunity, virus factors, and immunosuppression related to HSCT. All individuals who undergo HSCT should be screened for HBV. HSCT patients positive for HBsAg and also those HBcAb-positive/HBsAg-negative are at high risk of HBV reactivation (HBVr) due to profound and prolonged immunosuppression. Antiviral prophylaxis prevents HBVr, decreases HBVr-related morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic or previous HBV. The optimal duration of antiviral prophylaxis remains to be elucidated. The vaccination of HBV-naïve recipients and their donors against HBV prior to HSCT has an important role in the prevention of acquired HBV infection. This narrative review provides a comprehensive update on the current concepts, risk factors, molecular mechanisms, prevention, and management of HBVr in HSCT.

Abstract
Mortality from cytomegalovirus disease after marrow transplantation can be reduced by treatment with antiviral drugs based on the detection of viremia and organ involvement. We examined autopsy liver specimens to determine the frequency, extent and outcome of cytomegalovirus hepatitis and whether cytomegalovirus hepatitis occurred in the absence of cytomegalovirus disease elsewhere. Autopsy specimens from 50 transplant patients were evaluated for cytomegalovirus-infected cells, in five groups of 10, according to extent of CMV during life and at autopsy. Liver sections were examined by routine light microscopy, immunohistochemistry and in situ DNA hybridization. Clinical and laboratory data collected during the last 30 days of life were analysed as markers of liver cytomegalovirus infection. Cytomegalovirus-infected cells were detected in the livers of 10/10 patients with cytomegalovirus infection during life and widespread cytomegalovirus at autopsy; in 3/20 livers from patients with cytomegalovirus infection during life but negative liver cultures at autopsy; and in 1/10 livers from cytomegalovirus-seropositive patients who had been without other evidence of cytomegalovirus infection. Histology detected a lower density of cytomegalovirus-bearing cells per unit area of liver, compared to immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. No cytomegalovirus-infected cells were detected in livers from cytomegalovirus-seronegative controls. No distinctive clinical or laboratory findings correlated with liver cytomegalovirus detection. CMV liver disease is common in allografted patients with disseminated CMV but may rarely be isolated to the liver, best demonstrated with IHC and ISH. Massive hepatic necrosis from CMV was not seen in any autopsy liver in this study.

Distribution of Transplantation-Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TA-TMA) and Comparison between Renal TA-TMA and Intestinal TA-TMA: Autopsy Study. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2019; 26:178-188. [PMID: 31491486 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2019.08.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Revised: 08/19/2019] [Accepted: 08/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is an important complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. To date, information regarding the organs that are affected by TA-TMA as confirmed histologically remains limited; the clinicopathologic differences between renal TA-TMA and intestinal TA-TMA have not been examined despite being the well-known and commonly affected sites of TA-TMA. We therefore examined 165 autopsied patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and compared the clinicopathologic factors of renal and intestinal TA-TMA. It was clear that 38 (23%) of our patients had TA-TMA. In the TA-TMA cases, the kidney (61%) and intestine (53%) were commonly affected, and the ileum and right colon were vulnerable. Other organs that we found to be affected by TA-TMA included the stomach (8%), gallbladder (5%), and oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, liver, heart, urinary bladder, and ureter (all at 3%), and symptoms thought to be caused by TA-TMA of these organs were not observed in any patient. Histologically, TA-TMA only affected the arteriole, or small arteries, regardless of the organ, and the veins or larger arteries were not affected at all. In the kidney, the glomerular capillary was also affected, and mesangiolysis and double contours of the basement membranes were often in evidence. The histologic overlap of renal and intestinal TA-TMA was rare (13%), and the patients in the intestinal TA-TMA group exhibited more frequency of a history of intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) during the clinical course compared with that of the renal TA-TMA group (80% versus 22%, P = .0016). Although TA-TMA can affect many other organs, the frequency of these ancillary events was low, and the clinical effect may have been small. Our results suggest that in comparison to renal TA-TMA, intestinal GVHD could be more closely associated with intestinal TA-TMA as a risk factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival rates have greatly improved as a result of more effective treatments for childhood cancer. Unfortunately, the improved prognosis has been accompanied by the occurrence of late, treatment-related complications. Liver complications are common during and soon after treatment for childhood cancer. However, among long-term childhood cancer survivors, the risk of hepatic late adverse effects is largely unknown. To make informed decisions about future cancer treatment and follow-up policies, it is important to know the risk of, and associated risk factors for, hepatic late adverse effects. This review is an update of a previously published Cochrane review. OBJECTIVES To evaluate all the existing evidence on the association between antineoplastic treatment (that is, chemotherapy, radiotherapy involving the liver, surgery involving the liver and BMT) for childhood cancer and hepatic late adverse effects. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2018, Issue 1), MEDLINE (1966 to January 2018) and Embase (1980 to January 2018). In addition, we searched reference lists of relevant articles and scanned the conference proceedings of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) (from 2005 to 2017) and American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (ASPHO) (from 2013 to 2018) electronically. SELECTION CRITERIA All studies, except case reports, case series, and studies including fewer than 10 patients that examined the association between antineoplastic treatment for childhood cancer (aged 18 years or less at diagnosis) and hepatic late adverse effects (one year or more after the end of treatment). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently performed the study selection and 'risk of bias' assessment. The 'risk of bias' assessment was based on earlier checklists for observational studies. For the original version of the review, two review authors independently performed data extraction. For the update of the review, the data extraction was performed by one reviewer and checked by another reviewer. MAIN RESULTS Thirteen new studies were identified for the update of this review. In total, we included 33 cohort studies including 7876 participants investigating hepatic late adverse effects after antineoplastic treatment (especially chemotherapy and radiotherapy) for different types of childhood cancer, both haematological and solid malignancies. All studies had methodological limitations. The prevalence of hepatic late adverse effects, all defined in a biochemical way, varied widely, between 0% and 84.2%. Selecting studies where the outcome of hepatic late adverse effects was well-defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) above the upper limit of normal, indicating cellular liver injury, resulted in eight studies. In this subgroup, the prevalence of hepatic late adverse effects ranged from 5.8% to 52.8%, with median follow-up durations varying from three to 23 years since cancer diagnosis in studies that reported the median follow-up duration. A more stringent selection process using the outcome definition of ALT as above twice the upper limit of normal, resulted in five studies, with a prevalence ranging from 0.9% to 44.8%. One study investigated biliary tract injury, defined as gamma-glutamyltransferase (γGT) above the upper limit of normal and above twice the upper limit of normal and reported a prevalence of 5.3% and 0.9%, respectively. Three studies investigated disturbance in biliary function, defined as bilirubin above the upper limit of normal and reported prevalences ranging from 0% to 8.7%. Two studies showed that treatment with radiotherapy involving the liver (especially after a high percentage of the liver irradiated), higher BMI, and longer follow-up time or older age at evaluation increased the risk of cellular liver injury in multivariable analyses. In addition, there was some suggestion that busulfan, thioguanine, hepatic surgery, chronic viral hepatitis C, metabolic syndrome, use of statins, non-Hispanic white ethnicity, and higher alcohol intake (> 14 units per week) increase the risk of cellular liver injury in multivariable analyses. Chronic viral hepatitis was shown to increase the risk of cellular liver injury in six univariable analyses as well. Moreover, one study showed that treatment with radiotherapy involving the liver, higher BMI, higher alcohol intake (> 14 units per week), longer follow-up time, and older age at cancer diagnosis increased the risk of biliary tract injury in a multivariable analysis. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of hepatic late adverse effects among studies with an adequate outcome definition varied considerably from 1% to 53%. Evidence suggests that radiotherapy involving the liver, higher BMI, chronic viral hepatitis and longer follow-up time or older age at follow-up increase the risk of hepatic late adverse effects. In addition, there may be a suggestion that busulfan, thioguanine, hepatic surgery, higher alcohol intake (>14 units per week), metabolic syndrome, use of statins, non-Hispanic white ethnicity, and older age at cancer diagnosis increase the risk of hepatic late adverse effects. High-quality studies are needed to evaluate the effects of different therapy doses, time trends, and associated risk factors after antineoplastic treatment for childhood cancer.

Abstract
Low plasma CsA concentrations (<300–350 ng/mL) early following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with an increased risk of developing acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). Nevertheless, the current optimal target trough concentration for CsA following HSCT is considered to be 200–400 ng/mL. Here, we performed a retrospective analysis of a homogeneous group of 129 patients who received HSCT after non-myeloablative conditioning, and we analyzed the impact of CsA trough concentration measured during the first four weeks (CsA W1-4) on the incidence aGvHD, relapse-free survival (RFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), overall survival (OS), and toxicity. The 180-day incidence of grade II-IV aGvHD was 25% (32/129 patients). In multivariate analysis the incidence of grade II-IV aGvHD was significantly lower among patients with a CsA W1-4 concentration ≥350 ng/mL compared to patients with a concentration <350 ng/mL (18% versus 38%, respectively; P = 0.007), with a hazard ration (HR) of 0.38 (95% CI: 0.19–0.77). In contrast, we found no correlation between CsA trough concentration and RFS, NRM, or OS. Moreover, we found an increased incidence of hypomagnesemia at higher CsA concentrations, but no difference in the incidence of acute renal toxicity, hepatic toxicity, or electrolyte imbalance. Interestingly, 30% of patients experienced hyponatremia with no apparent cause other than the use of CsA, with urinalysis suggesting SIADH as the underlying cause. Our findings suggest that a CsA trough concentration of 350–500 ng/mL might be more appropriate in the first month following non-myeloablative HSCT.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Despite advances in therapeutic and preventive measures, hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients remain at risk for a variety of gastrointestinal and liver complications. OBJECTIVE.— To detail the pathologic features of the various gastrointestinal and liver complications occurring after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in relation to their clinical context. The specific complications covered include graft-versus-host disease, mycophenolate mofetil-induced injury, timeline of infections, neutropenic enterocolitis, gastrointestinal thrombotic microangiopathy, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, hepatic iron overload, and the controversy around cord colitis syndrome. DATA SOURCES.— The content of this article is based on pertinent peer-reviewed articles in PubMed, relevant textbooks, and on the authors' personal experiences. CONCLUSIONS.— The final histopathologic diagnosis requires the integration of clinical and histologic findings and the exclusion of other competing causes of injury. Review of the clinical data, including the original disease pretransplant, the type of transplant, the timing of the gastrointestinal and/or liver manifestations, the timing of the biopsy after transplant, the presence of graft-versus-host disease in other organs and sites, the list of drug regimens, and the clinical and laboratory evidence of infection, is the key to reaching the proper histologic diagnosis.

Comparison of pediatric allogeneic transplant outcomes using myeloablative busulfan with cyclophosphamide or fludarabine. Blood Adv 2019; 2:1198-1206. [PMID: 29844205 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2018016956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2018] [Accepted: 04/23/2018] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Busulfan combined with cyclophosphamide (BuCy) has long been considered a standard myeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), including both nonmalignant conditions and myeloid diseases. Substituting fludarabine for cyclophosphamide (BuFlu) to reduce toxicity without an increase in relapse has been increasingly performed in children, but without comparison with BuCy. We retrospectively analyzed 1781 children transplanted from 2008 to 2014 to compare the effectiveness of BuCy with BuFlu. Nonmalignant and malignant disease populations were analyzed separately. Overall mortality was comparable for children with nonmalignant conditions who received BuFlu or BuCy (relative risk [RR], 1.14, P = .52). Lower incidences of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (P = .04), hemorrhagic cystitis (P = .04), and chronic graft-versus-host disease (P = .02) were observed after BuFlu, but the influence of the conditioning regimen could not be assessed by multivariate analysis because of the low frequency of these complications. Children transplanted for malignancies were more likely to receive BuFlu if they had higher hematopoietic cell transplantation-comorbidity index scores (P < .001) or their donor was unrelated and HLA-mismatched (P = .004). Nevertheless, there were no differences in transplant toxicities and comparable transplant-related mortality (RR, 1.2; P = .46), relapse (RR, 1.2; P = .15), and treatment failure (RR, 1.2; P = .12). BuFlu was associated with higher overall mortality (RR, 1.4; P = .008) related to inferior postrelapse survival (P = .001). Our findings demonstrated that outcomes after BuFlu are similar to those for BuCy for children, but for unclear reasons, those receiving BuFlu for malignancy may be at risk for shorter postrelapse survival.

Abstract
Treatment of hematological malignancy with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) may cause liver injury. ADCs deliver a toxic moiety into antigen-expressing tumor cells, but may also injure hepatic sinusoids (sinusoidal obstruction syndrome; SOS). We studied patients who received an anti-CD22/calicheamicin conjugate (inotuzumab ozogamicin; InO) to gain insight into mechanisms of sinusoidal injury, given that there are no CD22+ cells in the normal liver, but nonspecific uptake of ADCs by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). Six hundred thirty-eight patients (307 with acute lymphocytic leukemia [ALL], 311 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [NHL]) were randomized to either InO or standard chemotherapy (controls). While blinded to treatment assignment, we reviewed all cases with hepatobiliary complications to adjudicate the causes. Frequency of SOS among patients who received InO was 5 of 328 (1.5%), compared to no cases among 310 control patients. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) developed in 26 (7.9%) InO recipients and 3 (1%) controls. Intrahepatic cholestasis (IHC) was observed in 4.9% of InO recipients and in 5.5% of controls. Subsequent to the randomization study, 113 patients with ALL underwent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT); frequency of SOS in those previously exposed to InO was 21 of 79 (27%) versus 3 of 34 (9%) in controls. An exploratory multivariate model identified a past history of liver disease and thrombocytopenia before conditioning therapy as dominant risk factors for SOS after transplant. Conclusion: Frequencies of SOS and DILI after inotuzumab ozogamicin treatment were 1.5% and 7.9%, respectively, compared to none and 1% among controls who received standard chemotherapy. These data suggest that ADCs that do not target antigens present in the normal liver have a relatively low frequency of SOS, but a relatively high frequency of DILI.

Quantitative Assessment of Liver Stiffness Using Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Patients With Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Pilot Study. JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE 2019; 38:455-461. [PMID: 30352484 DOI: 10.1002/jum.14717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2018] [Revised: 05/16/2018] [Accepted: 05/17/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare hepatic stiffness on ultrasound (US) shear wave elastography (SWE) in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation versus patients with no underlying liver disease. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 4901 patients who underwent abdominal US examinations with adjunctive liver SWE between August 2014 and December 2016. Each patient was scanned supine with gentle breath holding on LOGIQ E9 (GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI) or Epiq (Philips Healthcare, Andover, MA) US machines (3-6 MHz). Three to 10 measurements were made intercostally in the right hepatic lobe, following manufacturers' guidelines before release of the 2015 Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound consensus or the 2015 Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound consensus. The median and standard deviation of the shear wave velocity (SWV) were obtained. A 2-sample t test with the Welch approximation was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Six patients had documented hepatic chronic GVHD or a high clinical suspicion of liver chronic GVHD. All had normal pretransplant liver function test results and no pretransplant or posttransplant hepatic infection. The control group, obtained from the same database, contained 10 patients with normal liver function test results, no abdominal pain, and no history of liver disease or conditions that may have caused liver stiffness changes. The SWVs in patients with chronic GVHD were double those in the control group (1.96 ± 0.28 versus 0.98 ± 0.27 m/s; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with chronic GVHD had substantially higher hepatic parenchymal SWVs than patients without liver disease, indicating increased tissue stiffness. To our knowledge, this phenomenon has not been previously reported in chronic GVHD and suggests potential utility of SWE for diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression and the treatment response in this cohort of patients.

Successful Sequential Liver and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in a Child With CD40 Ligand Deficiency and Cryptosporidium-Induced Liver Cirrhosis. Transplantation 2019; 102:823-828.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is curative in patients with primary immunodeficiencies. However, pre-HSCT conditioning entails unacceptably high risks if the liver is compromised. The presence of a recurrent opportunistic infection affecting the biliary tree and determining liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension posed particular decisional difficulties in a 7-year-old child with X-linked CD40-ligand deficiency. We aim at adding to the scanty experience available on such rare cases, as successful management with sequential liver transplantation (LT) and HSCT has been reported in detail only in 1 young adult to date. METHODS A closely sequential strategy, with a surgical complication-free LT, followed by reduced-intensity conditioning, allowed HSCT to be performed only one month after LT, preventing Cryptosporidium parvum recolonization of the liver graft. RESULTS Combined sequential LT and HSCT resolved the cirrhotic evolution and corrected the immunodeficiency so that the infection responsible for the progressive sclerosing cholangitis did not recur. CONCLUSIONS Hopefully, this report of the successful resolution of a potentially fatal combination of immunodeficiency and chronic opportunistic infection with end-stage organ damage in a child will encourage others to adapt a sequential transplant approach to this highly complex pathology. However, caution is to be exercised to carefully balance the risks intrinsic to transplant surgery and immunosuppression in primary immunodeficiencies.

Liver Stiffness Measurement Allows Early Diagnosis of Veno-Occlusive Disease/Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome in Adult Patients Who Undergo Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Results from a Monocentric Prospective Study. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2019; 25:995-1003.

Abstract
Veno-occlusive disease (VOD), also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), is a life-threatening complication affecting patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The survival rate is higher when specific therapy is initiated early; thus, improving early, noninvasive diagnosis of VOD/SOS is an important need. In an adult population undergoing HSCT, we aimed to assess the role of liver stiffness measurement (LSM), evaluated by transient elastography (TE), for diagnosing VOD/SOS. Between April 2016 and March 2018, 78 consecutive adult patients with indications for allogeneic HSCT were prospectively included. LSM was performed before HSCT and at days +9/10, +15/17, and +22/24 post-HSCT. New European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria were used to establish VOD/SOS diagnosis. Four patients developed VOD/SOS (5.1%) during the study period, with a median time of +17 days post-HSCT. A sudden increase in LSM compared with previously assessed values and pre-HSCT values, was seen in all patients who developed VOD/SOS. LSM increases occurred from 2 to 12 days before clinical SOS/VOD appearance. The VOD/SOS diagnostic performance of increased LSM over pre-HSCT assessment showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.997 (sensitivity 75%; specificity 98.7%). LSM gradually decreased following successful VOD/SOS-specific treatment. Interestingly, LSM values did not increase significantly in patients experiencing hepatobiliary complications (according to the Common Terminology Criteria) other than VOD/SOS. LSM by TE can be considered a promising method to perform an early, preclinical diagnosis and follow-up of VOD/SOS.

Abstract
Liver disease in children occurs via a multitude of primary illnesses such as autoimmune hepatopathy, biliary atresia, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, jaundice, hepatitis, and alterations in liver tests can often be a manifestation of systemic diseases. The liver is involved in many critical functions such as circulation, immunity, toxin clearance, and metabolism; when the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, immune system, or endocrine systems are compromised, the liver will be affected. This article reviews common causes of liver injury as well as highlights key associations that should not be missed when diagnosing and managing children with liver disease. Becoming familiar with patterns of liver injury and arranging clues in the context of a thorough history and physical examination can help providers navigate the broad differential diagnosis of secondary liver disease.

Abstract
Liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) is widely used for empirical or preemptive therapy and treatment of invasive fungal infections after cord blood transplantation (CBT). We retrospectively examined the efficacy and safety of low-dose L-AMB in 48 adult patients who underwent CBT between 2006 and 2017 in our institute. Within the entire cohort, 42 patients (88%) received L-AMB as empirical or preemptive therapy. The median daily dose of L-AMB and the median cumulative dose of L-AMB were 1.20 mg/kg/day (range, 0.62 to 2.60 mg/kg/day) and 30.6 mg/kg (range, 0.7 to 241.5 mg/kg), respectively. The median duration of L-AMB administration was 21.5 days (range, 1 to 313 days). A documented breakthrough fungal infection occurred in 1 patient during L-AMB treatment, and 43 patients (90%) survived for at least 7 days after the end of L-AMB treatment. Grade 3 or higher hypokalemia and hepatotoxicity were frequently observed during L-AMB treatment. However, no patient developed an increase in serum creatinine levels of grade 3 or higher. In univariate analyses using a logistic regression model, a duration of L-AMB treatment of more than 21 days and a cumulative dose of L-AMB of more than 30 mg/kg were significantly associated with nephrotoxicity and grade 3 hypokalemia. These data suggest that low-dose L-AMB may be safe and effective in adult patients undergoing CBT.

Abstract
Administration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a possible treatment for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and other inflammatory conditions. To address the mechanism of immunosuppression by MSCs, in particular those derived from adipose tissue (AMSCs), AMSCs were isolated from three different mouse strains, and the suppressive capacity of the AMSCs thus obtained to suppress interferon (IFN)-γ generation in mixed lymphocyte reaction cultures serving as an in vitro model of GVHD were assessed. It was revealed that the AMSCs had a potent capacity to suppress IFN-γ production regardless of their strain of origin and that such suppression was not associated with production of interleukin-10. In addition, the results demonstrated that β2-microglobulin (β2m)-deficient AMSCs from β2m-/- mice were also potent suppressor cells, verifying the fact that the mechanism underlying the suppression by AMSCs is independent of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expression or MHC compatibility. As AMSCs appear to have immunosuppressive properties, AMSCs may be a useful source of biological suppressor cells for the control of GVHD in humans.
