Abstract One major cause of treatment-related death is transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA). Because of difficulties with diagnosis, many criteria for TA-TMA have been defined. Some patients clinically suspected as TA-TMA have been treated as TA-TMA regardless of TA-TMA criteria fulfillment (clinical-TMA). To examine sensitivities of TATMA criteria for clinical-TMA, we retrospectively evaluated 160 patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation by five major TA-TMA criteria and compared them with clinical-TMA. Cumulative incidences of TA-TMA and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were widely diverse between criteria. Thirty-eight patients fulfilled one or more TA-TMA criteria (total-TMA), and 12 of them fulfilled only one criterion. In patients with total-TMA, thrombocythemia, serum creatinine > 1.5 × baseline, and proteinuria were especially repeatedly observed among TA-TMA criteria. Ninety-two percent of clinical-TMA patients were classified as patients with total-TMA, and high NRM incidences were exhibited in patients with total-TMA even without clinical-TMA.

Our strategy for initial treatment of TA-TMA was withdrawal of CNIs with substitution by corticosteroid [4]. Further treatment was not standardized and depended on physicians’ decision.
Other definitions Disease risk was classified according to the refined disease risk index proposed by Armand et al. [11] The hematopoietic cell transplant-comorbidity index (HCT-CI) was scored according to the report by Sorror et al. [12] The nutritional risk index (NRI) was calculated at nearest time point prior conditioning regimen as previously described [13]. The myeloablative and reduced-intensity conditioning regimens were defined according to the National Marrow Donor Program/Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research operational definitions criteria [14]. GVHD prophylaxis consisted of tacrolimus or cyclosporine and short-term methotrexate, but in cases of HSCT from haploidentical rel
