High Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury after Cord Blood Transplant

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently after hematopoietic cell transplant, affecting anywhere from 10-73% of patients and is associated with higher post-transplant mortality. In this retrospective study, we identified incidence and risk factors of AKI in cord blood transplant (CBT) recipients and evaluated the impact of AKI on non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS).
