A single-centre observational study comparing the impact of different cytomegalovirus prophylaxis strategies on cytomegalovirus infections in kidney transplant recipients

Abstract: Background/objective: Prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is an important component of post kidney transplant care. We aimed to evaluate the impact of two different CMV prophylaxis protocols on the epidemiology and outcomes of CMV infections at our centre. Methods: This is a single-centre retrospective before/after observational study. Kidney transplant recipients who received Protocol 1, a valacyclovir- or valganciclovir-based regimen prescribed for one to three months based on the CMV risk status b… Show more

“…Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are not only at increased risk of immunosuppression-related adverse events (iRAEs), such as infections, malignancy and metabolic complications from chronic immunosuppression exposure, but are also at risk of graft loss from rejection with underimmunosuppression 1–4. Within our KTR cohort, infections accounted for 41.4% of all deaths and 35.7% of all hospital admissions 1.…”
