Enfermedad injerto contra huésped

Nombres alternativos:

EICH

Prevención:

Antes de un trasplante, se busca cuidadosamente la compatibilidad del grupo sanguíneo y del tipo de tejido con los donantes elegibles. Esta compatibilidad o emparejamiento reducirá el riesgo de que se presente EICH. Siempre que sea posible, las donaciones de miembros de la familia estrechamente compatibles pueden disminuir en forma más amplia el riesgo de este problema. La prevención absoluta de la EICH no es posible y es un riesgo que se presenta con cualquier trasplante de médula ósea.
