Renal Complications in Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), often used to treat blood disorders, can lead to kidney problems, known as renal complications. These issues may arise due to the conditioning treatment before the transplant, infections, or the medications used to prevent organ rejection and manage side effects. Common renal complications include acute kidney injury, fluid imbalances, and chronic kidney disease. Monitoring kidney function is essential during recovery, as these complications can affect overall health and recovery. Effective management of these risks helps improve kidney health and supports the success of the transplant.
