Risk of human papillomavirus infection and cervical intraepithelial lesions in Chinese renal transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

While human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in women is associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer, HPV testing is not often performed in routine practice for renal transplantation patients. The genotype-specific prevalence of HPV and risk factors for HPV infection are still unclear.

Methods

From 2010 to 2020, patients receiving renal transplantation surgery (referred to as RTRs), who had been screened for HPV infection one year after transplantation were enrolled. A comparison cohort of four age- and marital status-matched healthy individuals was selected for RTRs. The clinical characteristics and cervical screening results of RTRs were analyzed.

Results

Our study included 196 female renal transplant recipients (RTRs), none of who
