The Effect of Diabetes mellitus Type2 on Mobilization and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Outcomes. (PubMed, Indian J Hematol Blood Transfus)
However, various factors can lead to failure in hematopoietic stem cell mobilization in some patients, including age, type of malignancy, chemotherapy regimens (such as fludarabine, Melphalan, and Lenalidomide), radiotherapy, bone marrow cellularity, and comorbidities. It is crucial to recognize that diabetes can significantly affect the outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Factors such as poor stem cell mobilization, prolonged engraftment times, and increased need for blood product transfusions underscore the importance of considering diabetes in HSCT candidates.
