Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Category: Critical Care & Surgery / Immunological Complications

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation where donor immune cells attack the recipient's healthy tissues, leading to widespread inflammation and organ damage.

Global Prevalence

Acute GVHD affects 30-70% of allogeneic transplant recipients; chronic GVHD affects 30-70% of long-term survivors (Source: Blood, 2017).
