Excerpt

The frequency and severity of hepatic complications during hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) markedly decreased in the last decade, thanks to improvements in preventive and therapeutic measures for most frequent complications, as fungal infections, hepatotropic viruses, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD), hepatic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and improved management of hepatotoxic drugs and iron overload (Hockenbery et al. 2016).
