Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) can impair kidney function, significantly reducing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) in children. Total body irradiation (TBI) is a key risk factor for chronic renal impairment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Hematology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a crucial treatment for various pediatric conditions.
  • Long-term effects of BMT on renal function in children are not fully understood.
  • Assessing kidney function post-BMT is vital for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate long-term renal function in pediatric patients after allogeneic or autologous BMT.
  • To identify risk factors associated with chronic renal impairment post-BMT.
  • To compare renal function across different BMT patient groups and healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 187 pediatric patients undergoing BMT (allogeneic and autologous).
  • Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) at various time points.

  • Comparison with 50 healthy pediatric controls; analysis of conditioning therapies including total body irradiation (TBI).

    • Main Results:

    • GFR and ERPF were normal pre-BMT but significantly reduced at 1 year post-BMT.
    • GFR showed slight recovery by 3 years, while ERPF recovery was not observed.
    • Chronic renal impairment affected 41% at 1 year, decreasing to 11% by 7 years; TBI was the primary risk factor.

    Conclusions:

    • BMT leads to significant, long-lasting renal function impairment in pediatric patients.
    • Total body irradiation (TBI) is a critical risk factor for developing chronic kidney issues post-BMT.
    • Routine renal function monitoring is recommended for pediatric BMT survivors.
