Article Synopsis
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common viral infection in organ transplant recipients, often affecting organs like the brain and lungs, but renal involvement is rare.
- This study presents six cases of biopsy-proven CMV renal infection, with five patients showing detectable CMV viremia.
- Four patients had improved kidney function after treatment, making this the largest case series of confirmed CMV renal infection from one center.
Aim: To compare the impact of tacrolimus (FK) and cyclosporine (CYA) on acute rejection and graft survival and to assess the predominant causes of graft loss between patients receiving these two calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs).
Methods: Retrospective review of 1835 patients who received a kidney transplant (KTX) between 1999-2012. Patients were grouped based on initial CNI utilized: 1195 in FK group, 640 in CYA group.
Background: The efficacy of vasoconstrictors in hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is variable. We hypothesized that the effectiveness of vasoconstrictor therapy in improving kidney function ultimately relates to the magnitude of the achieved mean arterial pressure (MAP) increase.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to identify cirrhotic individuals treated with vasoconstrictors for acute kidney injury (AKI) presumably caused by HRS to examine the relationship between change in MAP and change in serum creatinine (sCr) using multivariate mixed linear regression.
Background: BK nephropathy is an evolving challenge among kidney transplant recipients. Diagnosis of BK nephropathy depends on the presence of BK viral inclusions on renal biopsy. Most cases of BK nephropathy are preceded by BK viremia or viruria.
