Cytomegalovirus (CMV) replication and disease, with its associated morbidity and poor transplant outcome, represents a serious threat to transplant recipients. The pediatric kidney transplant population is at a particularly increased risk of CMV infection.
We therefore analyzed CMV epidemiology in a large cohort of pediatric renal transplant recipients (n = 242) and assessed the impact of antiviral chemoprophylaxis with valganciclovir (VGCV) or ganciclovir (GCV) on CMV replication and morbidity.
While antiviral chemoprophylaxis with VGCV or GCV in patients with a high (D+/R-) or intermediate (D+/R+) CMV risk (n = 82) compared to preemptive therapy (n = 47) had no significant effect on the incidence of CMV syndrome or tissue-invasive disease, chemoprophylaxis was associated with a better preservation of transplant function at 3 years posttransplant (loss of estimated glomerular filtration rate in the chemoprophylaxis cohort, 16.0 ± 3.4 vs. 30.1 ± 4.7 mL/min per 1.73 m(2) in the preemptive therapy cohort, P < 0.05).CMV replication was associated with a more pronounced decline of graft function (difference in estimated glomerular filtration rate of 9.6 mL/min per 1.73 m(2) at 3 years) compared to patients without CMV replication. However, patients undergoing VGCV or GCV chemoprophylaxis had more leukocytopenia.
Antiviral chemoprophylaxis with VGCV or GCV in recipients with a high or moderate CMV risk is associated with a better preservation of transplant function. Hence, the prevention of CMV replication in this patient population has the potential to improve transplant outcome.
巨细胞病毒(CMV)复制及相关疾病,连同其伴随的发病率和不良移植结局,对移植受者构成严重威胁。小儿肾移植人群感染CMV的风险尤其高。
因此,我们分析了一大群小儿肾移植受者(n = 242)中的CMV流行病学情况,并评估了使用缬更昔洛韦(VGCV)或更昔洛韦(GCV)进行抗病毒化学预防对CMV复制和发病率的影响。
与抢先治疗组(n = 47)相比,在CMV高风险(D + /R -)或中度风险(D + /R +)的患者(n = 82)中,使用VGCV或GCV进行抗病毒化学预防对CMV综合征或组织侵袭性疾病的发生率没有显著影响,但化学预防与移植后3年移植肾功能的更好保留相关(化学预防组估计肾小球滤过率的损失为16.0±3.4,而抢先治疗组为30.1±4.7 mL/min per 1.73 m(2),P < 0.05)。与无CMV复制的患者相比,CMV复制与移植肾功能更明显的下降相关(3年时估计肾小球滤过率差异为9.6 mL/min per 1.73 m(2))。然而,接受VGCV或GCV化学预防的患者白细胞减少症更多。
在CMV高风险或中度风险的受者中,使用VGCV或GCV进行抗病毒化学预防与更好地保留移植肾功能相关。因此,在该患者群体中预防CMV复制有可能改善移植结局。
