ABSTRACT

Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has not been well characterized in large population studies with clinically adjudicated cases. We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults who underwent allogeneic HCT between 2006 and 2015 to determine the incidence of and risk factors for TA-TMA and to describe its natural history and response to immunosuppressant withdrawal management. Among 2145 patients in this study, 192 developed TA-TMA with a cumulative incidence of 7.6% by 100days post-transplant. Independent pretransplant risk factors included the receipt of a second (or third) allogeneic HCT, HLA-mismatched donor, and myeloablative conditioning with or without total body irradiation; post-transplant risk factors included the antecedent development of acute graft-versus-host disease, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, bacteremia, invasive aspergillosis, BK viremia, and higher sirolimus trough level. Among TA-TMA patients 27% achieved hematologic resolution and 57% remained alive as of 90days after diagnosis. Antecedent risk factors stratified patients into different survival groups, and immunosuppressant withdrawal alone did not improve patient outcomes. In conclusion, TA-TMA is a heterogenous disease that occurs after allogeneic transplantation. Management with immunosuppressant withdrawal does not impact patient outcomes. Until further evidence becomes available, the management of TA-TMA should focus on the treatment of underlying diseases.
