A rare cause of CKD post-allogeneic SCT is development of glomerular disease, which by many is considered to be a manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) affecting the kidney (1). Based on mouse models, it has been proposed that GVHD could be a direct T cell-mediated injury or that the chronic systemic inflammatory state of GVHD leads to autoimmune induction and glomerulopathy (2).
