Association between delayed graft function and cytomegalovirus infection after renal transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Delayed graft function (DGF) is a significant risk factor for renal allograft failure. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and investigate whether DGF is associated with an increased risk of CMV infection in renal transplant recipients.

Methods

In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, we analyzed CMV outcomes in deceased donor renal transplant recipients with and without DGF. Univariate and multivariate odds ratio were calculated using a Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

Data from 124 recipients (mean age: 44.72±9.97 years; 89 males) were evaluated. Cytomegaloviruria was diagnosed in 16 patients (12.9%) within one year post-transplantation. Patients with DGF exhibited a significantly higher risk of c
