ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common feature in adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). However, accurate assessment of AKI incidence in the pediatric population still seems a challenge.OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the incidence of AKI according to the pRIFLE criteria in children undergoing alloHSCT, with special focus on differences between patients transplanted due to oncological and non-oncological indications. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A retrospective analysis of data, concerning 135 children undergoing alloHSCT due to oncological (89 patients) or other (46 patients) reasons, was performed. The values of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were measured before alloHSCT, 24 h after, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 weeks, 3 and 6 months after alloHSCT, and the AKI incidence was analyzed.RESULTS:
Acute kidney injury was diagnosed in 54% of all patients. The Risk stage (R) was noticed at least once in 46% of oncological and 37% of non-oncological children. The Injury stage (I) concerned 12% of oncological and 6% of non-oncological patients undergoing alloHSCT. The incidence of AKI in both groups was comparable. The mean eGFR values in oncological children were higher than those in the non-oncological patients even before transplantation and until the 4th week after alloHSCT. The eGFR increased significantly in all patients 24 h after alloHSCT and returned to pre-transplantation records after 2-3 weeks. Then, oncological patients demonstrated a gradual decrement of eGFR. Six months after transplantation, eGFR values in oncological children were significantly lower compared to pre-transplantation records, whereas in non-oncological children, these values were comparable.CONCLUSIONS:
Although the type of indication for alloHSCT has no impact on the AKI incidence, children undergoing alloHSCT due to oncological reasons are at greater risk of renal impairment 6 months after transplantation than non-oncological patients.Palavras-chave
