    Abstract

    Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) provides a curative option for the treatment of several malignancies. Its growing use is associated with an increased burden of kidney disease. Acute kidney injury is usually seen within the first 100 days of transplantation and has an incidence ranging between 12 and 73%, with the highest rate in myeloablative allogeneic SCT. A large subset of patients after SCT develop chronic kidney disease. They can be broadly classified into thrombotic microangiopathy, nephrotic syndrome, and calcineurin toxicity. Dialysis requirement after SCT is associated with mortality exceeding 80%. Given the higher morbidity and mortality related to development kidney disease, nephrologists need to be aware of the various causes and best treatment options.
