@import "../../../../wrapper/global.css"; @import "../../../../wrapper/wrapper.css"; What is the risk for developing chronic graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) after transplant? What would indicate a need for systemic treatment of chronic GVHD? What is standard treatment for initial diagnosis of chronic GVHD requiring systemic treatment? What are the side effects associated with the long-term use of prednisone? ... How long can I expect to be treated for chronic GVHD? Q. What is the risk for developing chronic graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) after transplant? About 60 percent of patients who receive an allogeneic transplant and are alive at day 100 will develop chronic GVHD. Q. What would indicate a need for systemic treatment of chronic GVHD? Systemic immunosuppressive treatment with a medication like prednisone is not usually necessary for patients who have mild chronic GVHD. For example, someone with a platelet count greater than 100,000 and mild symptoms in just one site, such as the mouth, would probably not require systemic treatment. Someone with chronic GVHD involving multiple sites such as liver and skin or eyes and genital tract, or someone with chronic GVHD and a platelet count less than 100,000 would require systemic therapy. If symptoms are severe, systemic immunosuppressive treatment may be needed even when only a single site is involved. Your doctor, can determine if you need systemic treatment. The LTFU is available to help your doctor in making this decision.

Graft-Versus-Host Disease What Is Graft-Versus-Host Disease? Patients A "reversed rejection" can also occur. Under this scenario, the healthy donor stem cells recognize the patient's tissues as foreign and attack them. This is the "transplant against the patient", or "Graft-versus-Host" reaction. The complication is called "Graft-versus-Host Disease" (GvHD). What Types Of GvHD Exist? Commonly, GvHD is divided into acute GvHD and chronic GvHD. Acute GvHD occurs within the first 100 days after transplant, but most often between 25 and 60 days after stem cell infusion. Chronic GvHD occurs beyond day 100 after transplant. Acute GvHD can lead to chronic GvHD, but chronic GvHD may occur without any evidence of previous acute GvHD. The chronic variant of GvHD may occur up to several years after transplant, indicating that the "fight" between donor stem cells and patient tissues can continue for years. In fact, at some level the fight between donor and recipient will never stop. The donor stem cells will never feel completely at home. In patients receiving a graft from an HLA-identical sibling, ultimately the donor stem cells will function quite normally. Patients who received grafts from HLA-mismatched donors will remain at an increased risk of infections for many years. What Are The Symptoms Of Acute GvHD?

Transfusion-associated graft versus host disease From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Transfusion-associated graft versus host disease Classification and external resources ICD T ICD Transfusion-associated graft versus host disease (TA-GvHD) is a rare complication of blood transfusion , in which the donor T lymphocytes mount an immune response against the recipient's lymphoid tissue. Donor lymphocytes are usually identified as foreign and destroyed by the recipient's immune system. However, in situations where the recipient is immunocompromised (inborn immunodeficiency , acquired immunodeficiency, malignancy ), or when the donor is homozygous and the recipient is heterozygous for an HLA haplotype (as can occur in directed donations from first-degree relatives), the recipient's immune system is not able to destroy the donor lymphocytes. This can result in graft versus host disease Contents Epidemiology and pathogenesis Presentation and diagnosis Clinical manifestations Laboratory manifestations ... edit Epidemiology and pathogenesis The incidence in immunocompromised patients receiving blood transfusions is estimated to be 0.1 - 1.0%, mortality around 80 - 90%. Mortality is higher in TA-GvHD than in GvHD associated with
