Abstract: To summarize the nursing experience of 2 children with adrenoleukodystrophy undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. According to their characteristics of progressive motor and swallowing function deterioration,and malnutrition after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,a multidisciplinary treatment and nursing team was established to carry out nutritional risk screening and evaluation as soon as possible. We observed the changes of the disease closely,and identified the complications such as intestinal graft-versus-host disease and delayed hemorrhagic cystitis as early as possible,gave psychological support to children and parents to relieve anxiety. Individualized rehabilitation exercise and multidisciplinary joint follow-up plan was made to promote the early recovery of diseases. After careful treatment and nursing,2 children were discharged from hospital with normal bone marrow function.
