DOI: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.12.436
Abstract: Background At our center, we observed a series of patients who developed transudative refractory ascites secondary to non-cirrhotic non-veno-occlusive disease (NC-nVOD) portal hypertension after allogeneic transplant (allo-SCT). The natural history, pathogenesis and etiology of this… read more here.
