Observational Study
Hyperferritinemia and acute kidney injury in pediatric patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) often occurs in pediatric patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We evaluated the risk and effect of HCT-related AKI in pediatric patients. ⋯ Hyperferritinemia was associated with stage-3 AKI and early mortality posttransplant. Pretransplant iron control may protect the kidney of pediatric HCT survivors.
