Abstract

Low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) prior to stem cell transplant (SCT) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The implications of abnormally high GFRs, or glomerular hyperfiltration, prior to SCT are unknown. Twenty-two of 74 consecutive pediatric SCT patients over 2years old at a single center were hyperfiltrating prior to SCT, median nuclear medicine GFR 154mL/min/1.73m2 [interquartile range: 146-170]. There was no association between hyperfiltration and any transplant demographics, nor between hyperfiltration and acute kidney injury (p=.8), renal replacement therapy (p=.63), 1-year event-free survival (p=1), or abnormal creatinine-based estimated GFR at a median follow-up of 4.7years (p=.73).
