Early Post-transplant Contrast-enhanced Abdominal CT to Predict the Risk of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT will be performed 1-2 weeks after allogeneic stem cell
transplant, and radiographic evidence of mucosal inflammation will be correlated with the
subsequent development of acute graft versus host disease. The primary endpoint is the
feasibility and safety of contrast-enhanced abdominal CT in the early post-transplant
period, as defined by the risk of contrast-related nephropathy or allergic reaction.


Inclusion Criteria:

institutional criteria.

- Age 18-60 years

- Willing and able to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

- Documented or reported contrast allergy

- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60

- Deemed too sick by clinician to leave the floor for imaging

- "Nothing-per-mouth" status for other clinical reasons

Inclusion of Women and Minorities

-Both men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this
