Complication Timing Buzzwords
VOD/SOS (Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome) day +10 to +30 Painful hepatomegaly + ≥5 % weight gain + ↑bili + ascites + thrombocytopenia (refractory to transfusion); EBMT criteria
TA-TMA (transplant-associated TMA) Anytime; often after CNI exposure Schistocytes + thrombocytopenia + ↑LDH + AKI + proteinuria + HTN; complement dysregulation; eculizumab / ravulizumab
Engraftment syndrome (ES) Around engraftment +10 to +14 Fever + rash + capillary leak + non-infectious; supportive + steroids
Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) Day +30 to +120 Bilateral pulmonary infiltrates + dyspnea + non-infectious; high mortality; etanercept investigational
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) Day +30 typically Bilateral infiltrates + dropping Hb post BAL bloody return; steroids + supportive
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) >day +100 (chronic GVHD) New ↓FEV1 + air trapping on HRCT; chronic GVHD lung manifestation
CMV reactivation Day +30 to +100 Letermovir prophylaxis; preemptive ganciclovir / valganciclovir
Adenovirus, BK virus, HHV-6, EBV-PTLD Variable PCR-driven; rituximab for EBV-PTLD; cidofovir for adenovirus
Mucositis Day 0 to engraftment Bu/Cy or TBI conditioning; opioids + analgesia; KGF (palifermin) reduces
Secondary malignancies Years post-HCT Solid tumors (oral, lung, skin, breast); secondary MDS/AML
Late infections (encapsulated) Years Lifelong post-splenectomy-equivalent risk; vaccinations
Iron overload Cumulative Ferritin >1000 → chelation post-HCT

分類與診斷

Diagnostic Criteria

  • VOD/SOS (EBMT criteria, adult): within 21 d (classical) or beyond (late-onset):
    • Bilirubin ≥2 mg/dL
      • 2 of: painful hepatomegaly, ascites, weight gain >5 %.
    • Severity grading by ALT, Cr, encephalopathy, MOF.
  • TA-TMA (Jodele 2014):
    • Schistocytes >1/HPF
    • Thrombocytopenia (or doubling of baseline)
    • LDH > ULN
    • Decreased haptoglobin
      • Hypertension, proteinuria (>30 mg/dL random), neuro / GI / renal involvement
      • sC5b-9 elevated (complement activation)

Workup

  • Daily weights, abdominal exam, LFTs, plt, Cr post-HCT.
  • Ultrasound liver Doppler (reversed portal flow in VOD/SOS).
  • Smear (schistocytes for TA-TMA).
  • Complement panel + sC5b-9 for TA-TMA suspicion.
  • CXR / HRCT for pulmonary complications.
  • Bronchoscopy + BAL for IPS / DAH / infection differentiation.
  • Viral PCRs (CMV, EBV, BK, adenovirus, HHV-6).

陷阱與考點

Pearls / Pitfalls

  • VOD/SOS treatment = DEFIBROTIDE (Defitelio) — reduces mortality. Risk factors: prior gemtuzumab ozogamicin or inotuzumab ozogamicin (within 6 mo), Bu-based conditioning, prior HCT, advanced disease, age extremes. Inotuzumab → high VOD risk in subsequent allo-HCT — use prophylactic defibrotide consideration.
  • TA-TMA — eculizumab / ravulizumab (anti-C5) effective in complement-dysregulation TMA. Always check complement panel + sC5b-9.
  • CNI-associated TMA: stopping calcineurin inhibitor often improves; if not, eculizumab.
  • Engraftment syndrome ≠ infection ≠ GVHD — fever + rash + capillary leak around engraftment, biopsy if unclear; usually self-limited with steroids.
  • CMV in HCT: letermovir prophylaxis (Marty NEJM 2017) is now standard for CMV-seropositive recipients; preemptive ganciclovir if active. Don't miss CMV pneumonitis (BAL + CMV PCR).
  • Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) — usually EBV-driven; rituximab + reduce immunosuppression for early; full chemo for monomorphic.
  • BOS (chronic GVHD lung) — early FEV1 decline + air trapping → treat aggressively with steroids + ruxolitinib + ICS-LABA + azithromycin (FAM/FAMR protocols).
  • DAH (diffuse alveolar hemorrhage) — bloody return on serial BAL; high mortality; steroids + supportive.
  • Late effects of HCT: secondary malignancies (skin, oral, breast, lung, MDS/AML), endocrine (gonadal, thyroid, adrenal), bone disease, cataracts, infertility, chronic GVHD, late infections.
  • Survivorship clinic essential post-HCT lifelong.
