Incidence of Restrictive Lung Disease Following Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for High Risk Lymphoma

Serial monitoring of pulmonary function tests (PFT) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) is common, with both obstructive and restrictive lung defects well described. In contrast, serial monitoring of PFT post autologous HCT is less commonly performed, with the incidence of post-HCT lung disease ill-defined in this population. We now report the incidence of restrictive lung disease (RLD) in a series of autograft recipients undergoing transplantation for Hodgkin's (HL) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) at our center.
