Abstract
Nutrition support is a key component of accompanying therapy in children who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Complications and side effects may occur at all stages of treatment, which require monitoring and correction of nutritional status. The article presents an analysis of current recommendations and a review of studies on clinical nutrition in children after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
