With acute GVHD and chronic GVHD, symptoms can range from mild to severe and life-threatening and often includeskin inflammation,jaundice, and GI discomfort along with other organ problems. Acute GVHD usually occurs within the first 100 days post-transplant; the acute form of the disease causes ...
12.6.6 Chronic GvHD of the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract Gastrointestinal tract symptoms occur frequently, and oesophageal web, stricture or concentric rings demonstrated on endoscopy or imaging are diag- nostic features for GI cGvHD. Patients may have dysphagia, odynophagia, heartburn, ...

The clinical symptoms depend on the stage of GVHD. Acute GVHD usually involves three organs: the skin, gastrointestinal tract (GI), and liver, while the main organs involved in chronic GVHD include the skin, mouth, eyes, GI, liver, lungs, joints, fascia, and reproductive system [10,11,12...
At baseline, skin (84%) was the most common site of cGVHD, followed by joints (82%), eyes (72%), lung (56%), mouth (44%), liver (23%), and gastrointestinal (GI) tract (15%). “The most improved organ sites included the skin in 22% of patients, the mouth in 22% of patien...
Symptoms of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) develop within the first 100 days following transplantation and include: Rash Itchy Painful Burning Red May blister In severe cases, the surface of the skin may flake off May occur on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, the trunk...
Hannah Choe, MD; Nelson J. Chao, MD, MBA; and Sophie Paczesny, MD, PhD, comment on the importance of early detection of disease and the role of biomarker testing in GVHD.
The other organ systems that are very commonly affected in acute GVHD are the GI [gastrointestinal] tract and the liver. For the liver, we usually pick it up before patients have any symptoms, based on the routine blood tests that we do so frequently. For the GI tract, you can have upp...
The two MAGIC serum biomarkers are helpful in further elucidating the extent of GI disease because they are released primarily from damaged GI crypts; the MAP has thus been considered a liquid biopsy of the GI tract [7]. But the severity of liver GVHD has also been shown to be an ...
GVHD would most “likely” be or “in favor” to be suspected in this case due to the nature of the lesions presented, signs and symptoms and timing of occurrence, the classical clinical oral presentations as well as the extent of mucosal areas involved [11]. No history of eye dryness no...
