About SR-aGvHD
Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a multisystem disorder that occurs after an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) when immune cells (T cells) from the donor (the graft) recognize the transplant recipient (the host) as foreign, initiating an immune reaction that causes disease in the transplant recipient.
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is a common treatment for many different cancers, particularly relapse of hematological malignancies (such as leukemia or lymphoma), as well as some other (non-cancer) conditions that affect the blood or immune system. In addition to HCT procedures, GvHD can also occur after transplantation of solid organs that may contain immune cells such as T cells.
GvHD is a significant cause of medical problems and death following an allogeneic HCT. Somewhere between 30 and 70 percent of transplant recipients develop acute GvHD, depending on donor type, transplant technique and other factors.
GvHD primarily affects the skin, the liver and the gastrointestinal tract. Some people have a very mild form, which doesn’t last long. For others, GvHD can be severe, and in some cases, may even be life threatening. Some people may have GvHD over many years, or even a lifetime.
