    Haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) after allogeneic stem cell transplant is a clinical disorder with multiple etiologies. There is an inflammation of the bladder mucosa leading to painful haematuria. Early onset HC is mainly attributed to conditioning chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide. Late onset HC is now being related to reactivation of latent polyoma BK virus (BKV). We describe the case of a 37 year old male with acute myeloid leukemia presenting with haematuria after allogeneic stem cell transplant.

    Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

    Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
    The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...

    Cytomegalovirus Disease

    Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

    Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...
