Sustaining and Improving Current Practices Surrounding Timely Hypertension Management in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Patients
Topic Significance& Study Purpose/Background/Rationale: Hypertension (HTN) is a known complication during pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The risks for developing hypertension depend on a variety of factors including the use of drugs (calcineurin inhibitors, steroids, and chemotherapy), total body irradiation (TBI), renal injury, transplant associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS). Uncontrolled HTN may lead to significant life-threatening complications including impaired renal and heart function, stroke, posterior reversible encephalopathy (PRES) and death.
