Abstract: Background: Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) is an early, life-threatening endothelial disorder of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Low L-ficolin (LF), a lectin complement pathway mediator, is a published predictive and prognostic SOS biomarker. We hypothesized that… read more here.
