	abstract = {Transplant-associated microangiopathy (TAM) is a severe complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) even after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC). Data on 112 patients following RIC were analyzed with respect to TAM according to the ASBMT and risk factors, response to well-defined therapy and outcome were determined. TAM occurred in 11 of 112 patients. Univariate analysis determined acute graft-versus-host disease and ABO-incompatibility as risk factors for TAM. Treatment consisted of withdrawal of calcineurin inhibitors and plasma exchange (PE). Response to PE was 64\%. PE seems to be an effective therapeutic option that should be assessed in larger patient cohorts.},
