This article examines the occurrence of liver complications in patients with myelofibrosis who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The study found that liver adverse events (AEs) were more common than expected, with 64% of patients experiencing liver AEs within the first 100 days after HSCT. The most common liver AEs were caused by the conditioning regimen. Risk factors for liver toxicity included worse performance status, higher comorbidity index, and higher prognostic scoring system score. The study also found that hyperbilirubinemia and hepatic graft-versus-host disease were associated with increased mortality. The text emphasizes the importance of monitoring liver complications in HSCT patients and suggests using imaging and biopsies to determine the cause and guide treatment. The study included various factors in the analysis and was approved by the appropriate ethics committee. [Extracted from the article]
