One Year Experience of CMV Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Abstract

Kidney transplantation is the most exclusive treatment of end stage kidney disease. Immunosuppressive treatment reveals opportunistic infections. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common viral pathogen isolated in kidney transplant recipients. In our study we investigated renal transplant recipients who received ganciclovir treatment for CMV infection in 2014. A total 21 kidney transplant recipients who re-ceived ganciclovir treatment for CMV-DNAemia by PCR in 2014. CMV infection was evaluated with CMV-DNA positivity measured by Abbott Real Time PCR technique. Retrospectively medical data were evaluated. Mean CMV-DNAemia was 26255,19±55501,75 copy/mL and mean transplantation duration was 34,1±53,7 months. CMV disease ratio was higher (66.7% vs 33.3%). The most common symptoms were weakness, fever, cough, pneumonitis, diarrhea, hepatitis. Mean duration of ganciclovir use was 20.24±6.2 days. In 76% recipient CMV-DNA was negative at the end of the treatment. Five recipients died, 5 continued with hemodialysis because of graft lost. Although incidence of CMV infection decreased with prophylaxis and pre-emptive treatments, it is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipients. Recipients who used prophylaxis have late onset CMV infection risk, they should be follow-up carefully.
