Acute kidney injury in multiple myeloma patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant: a  cohort study

CONCLUSION: Acute kidney injury affects almost half of MM patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and reduction in urinary output allows early diagnosis in almost a quarter of the patients. Obesity, HCT-CI ≥ 2, CKD, amyloidosis, mucositis grade 3-4 and exposure to nephrotoxic drugs are significant risk factors. Moderate-to-severe AKI is associated with lower 5-year overall survival.PMID:38019417 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-023-01809-3
