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.Palabras clave
