Abstract
BACKGROUND
Episodes of CMV-viruria have been reported in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, but their context of occurrence, pathophysiology, and clinical significance remain misunderstood.
METHODS
Uurine samples from 517 recipients were collected. Clinical features of recipients with or without episodes of CMV-viruria were retrospectively compared.
RESULTS
CMV-viruria was detected in 15.5 % of cases. Age, sex, type of transplantation, HLA-matching, conditioning regimen, and immunosuppressive therapies did not differ between patients with and without CMV-viruria. CMV-seropositive status (R + ) was more frequent among CMV-viruric recipients. Cumulated mortality did not differ between the two groups but graft-versus-host diseases occurred more frequently among CMV-viruric patients (p = 0.04). No reduction of the estimated glomerular filtration rates was observed in CMV-viruric recipients.
CONCLUSIONS
CMV-viruria primarily occurs in CMV-seropositive recipients and is not related to the degree of immunosuppression. We suggest that CMV-viruria is primarily related to the inability of the graft immune system to contain CMV-replication in R + patients. CMV-viruria is not associated with increased mortality or renal dysfunction.
