MO1015EARLY URINARY SYSTEM COMPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN WITH HEMATOPOETIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION

Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims Urinary system complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) cause severe morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study is to investigate the incidence and risk factors of urinary system complications in patients who had HSCT during their childhood. Method Patients who had HSCT between January 2010-2019 with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months were included in the study. Data regarding urinary system complications were collected from the medical records of the patients. pRIFLE and KDIGO classification systems were used for the definition of acute kidney injury (AKI). Results 167 patients (108 males and 59 females) with allogeneic (n=165) and autologous (n=2) HSCT were investigated for renal complications. In cohort, HSCT was performed in 41 patients (%24.6) secondary to malignant diseases and in 126 patients secondary to non-malignant diseases. Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) developed in 28 patients (16.8%) after HSCT. The mean age of the patients with and without HC was 14.6±5.6 years and 10.5±6 years, respectively (p=0.044). Among patients with HC, 17 had concomitant viral infection. Presence of viral infection, gender, disease group, history conditioning regime, total body irradiation, acute graft-versus-host disease and veno-occlusive disease (VOD) did not have any effect on the development of HC in logistic regression analysis. In cohort, 126 patients (75.4%) developed AKI according to KDIGO classification (stage 1; 55 patients, stage 2; 36 patients, stage 3; 35 patients). The mean period of development of AKI after HSCT was 34±22 days. The risk of AKI (according to KDIGO) was higher in patients who had HSCT secondary to malignant diseases and/or who developed viral infections after HSCT (p=0.034 and p=0.013, respectively). Among patients, 71 patients (%42.5) developed AKI according to pRIFLE classification. The risk of AKI (according to pRIFLE) was higher in patients who had HSCT secondary to malignant diseases, who developed viral infections and/or who developed VOD during follow-up (p=0.043, p=0.001 and p=0.006, respectively). One patient developed thrombotic microangiopathy after HSCT. None of the patients had nephrotic syndrome during follow-up period. Conclusion Patients who had HSCT secondary to malignant disease, viral infections and/or VOD had higher risk of AKI and should be closely monitored.
