Graft-versus-host disease. Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a medical complication following the receipt of transplanted tissue from a genetically different person. GvHD is commonly associated with stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant), but the term also applies to other forms of tissue graft.
A graft is any tissue that is taken from the body to use in another area of the body of the same person or another person. When we talk about grafts in the nose, we are talking about cartilage, soft tissue (fat and fibrous tissue), or sometimes bone that is used to improve the structure and shape of the nose.
