Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a severe complication that can occur following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This condition arises when immunocompetent T lymphocytes from the donor graft recognize the recipient’s tissues as foreign due to histocompatibility differences and initiate an immune response against them. This attack typically occurs within the first 100 days posttransplant, leading to tissue damage in various organs, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and lungs. GVHD can manifest as acute or chronic forms, each with distinct clinical presentations and management strategies.This activity provides an in-depth exploration of GVHD, focusing on its pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management. Participants gain a deeper understanding of how to recognize and evaluate GVHD, as well as the role of the interprofessional team in its management. This activity also addresses the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in optimizing treatment plans and providing comprehensive care for GVHD patients, highlighting the significance of timely interventions in improving outcomes.
