Fatigue and Cognitive Dysfunction Due to Synaptopathy or Graft Versus Host (GVH) Disease in the Brain.

January 19, 2026 updated by: Ksenia Boriskina, Karolinska University Hospital

Fatigue Och Kognitiv Dysfunktion Till följd av Synaptopati Eller Graft Versus Host (GVH) Sjukdom i hjärnan.

Patients undergoing allogenic stem cell transplantation are regularly followed up in the outpatient clinic at Karolinska University Hospital. Here, patients are offered participation the fatigue study measuring both fatigue and cognitive impairment systematically by international standard. Meanwhile liquor samples and advanced PET imaging techniques are available for these patients as part of a research project allowing extensive immunological and radio-morphological studies.
