Abstract

GOMEZ-VENEGAS, Álvaro Andrés et al. Gastrointestinal involvement due to graft-versus-host disease. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.2, pp.225-232.  Epub Aug 25, 2022. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.771.

Graft-versus-host disease is a common complication after stem cell transplantation. The digestive tract is affected in many patients who suffer from it, with consequences that can be fatal. The proper approach, which includes endoscopic studies, allows ruling out differential diagnoses and managing the disease early.

Keywords : Graft-versus-host disease; digestive system; gastrointestinal tract; transplant; stem cells.
