Pathological Hepatic Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) Pattern in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-SCT)

Conclusion:Patients undergoing allo-SCT frequently show a pathological hepatic CEUS pattern, which can be quantified by OD measurement and is suggestive of preclinical VOD or yet undefined hepatic pathologies. Further studies to evaluate the clinical significance of a PE with regard to VOD development and risk of GvHD are ongoing.Figure 1.DisclosuresBurchert: Pfizer: Honoraria; Bayer: Research Funding; Bristol Myers Squibb: Honoraria, Research Funding; AOP Orphan: Honoraria, Research Funding; Novartis: Research Funding.
