Vitamin D in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Mechanisms and Therapy.

Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is common in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), where secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPTH) and post-transplantation bone disease (PTBD) are potential effectors of both graft and vascular aging. Reduced 25(OH)D levels are highly prevalent in KTRs. Experimental and clinical evidence support the direct involvement of deranged vitamin D m...

CMV Infection in CMV-Seropositive Kidney Transplant Recipients

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity in kidney transplant recipients. CMV seropositivity is common in the general population, with a reported prevalence ranging from 30 to 97% (Paya, 2001; Preiksaitis et al., 2005). After primary infection, CMV establishes life-long latency. During the past 2 decades, major advances in the management of CMV infection of transplant patie...

A Review on JC Virus Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients

The polyomavirus (PyV), JC virus (JCV), is a small nonenveloped DNA virus that asymptomatically infects about 80% of healthy adults and establishes latency in the kidney tissue. In case of immunodeficient hosts, JCV can lytically infect the oligodendrocytes, causing a fatal demyelinating disease, known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Although the reactivation of another hum...
