Overview
The major risk factor for GvHD is disparity in HLA alleles between the recipient and host.
Risk Factors
Adverse risk factors for GvHD include:
- High degree of HLA disparity between host and donor cells[1]
- Use of unrelated donors as the stem cell source[1]
- Total body irradiation as the conditioning regimen prior to transplant[1]
- Prior acute GvHD[2]
- Use of peripheral blood stem cells[2]
- Use of a T cell replete graft[2]
- Viral infection, since this can contribute to immune activation[2]
- Male host[2]
- Multiparous female donor[2]
Protective risk factors include:
- High degree of HLA concordance between the host and donor
- Use of umbilical cord blood as the donor source (given decreased number of donor T cells)
