Abstract:
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, applied in the treatment of blood tumors and non-tumor diseases in children, has improved the survival rate and life span of the patients.However, with the extension of survival time, various endocrine complications will appear in these survivors of childhood cancer and reduce the quality of life.Complications related to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children are caused by primary disease and/ or treatments before and after transplantation, including abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, hypogonadism, short stature and so on.Regular endocrine evaluations can help physicians find the endocrine dysfunctions of children with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as soon as possible.This review summarizes the common endocrine complications and follow-up evaluation of children with thalassemia and acute leukemia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, in order to provide reference for the monitoring of endocrine function in children after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
