Torque teno virus among dialysis and renal-transplant patients
Patients who undergo dialysis treatment or a renal transplant have a high risk of blood-borne viral infections, including the Torque teno virus (TTV). This study identified the presence of TTV and its genome groups in blood samples from 118 patients in dialysis and 50 renal-transplant recipients. The research was conducted in a hospital in the city of Maringá, state of Paraná. The viral DNA, ob...
متن کاملRole of B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator in Renal Transplant Recipients with Biopsy-Proven Acute Rejection
BACKGROUND Acute rejection is a common predisposing cause of allograft dysfunction in kidney transplantation. Recently, the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA)/herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM)/lymphotoxin (LIGHT)/CD160 pathway was found to be potentially involved in the regulation of T cell activation. This could mean that this pathway is involved in graft rejection in kidney transplantation...
متن کاملImmunosuppression status of liver transplant recipients with hepatitis C affects biopsy-proven acute rejection
BACKGROUND/AIMS The relationship between patient survival and biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) in liver transplant recipients with hepatitis C remains unclear. The aims of this study were to compare the characteristics of patients with and without BPAR and to identify risk factors for BPAR. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 169 HCV-RNA-positive patients who underwent LT a...
متن کاملTorque Teno Virus (TTV) Infection
TTV has been recently identified as a causative agent of non-A to non-G hepatitis. However, the exact role of this virus in the pathogenesis of chronic liver disease (CLD) and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain controversial. To clarify these issues, the prevalence of this virus and its impact on the severity of liver disease and development of HCC among Egyptian patients ...
متن کاملTorque teno virus: a ubiquitous virus
Torque teno virus (TTV) is a non-enveloped human DNA virus isolated by Nishizawa et al. in 1997.1 TTV, recently classified as the Alphatorquevirus genus within the Anelloviridae family by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), was the first human virus with a single-stranded circular DNA genome to be identified.2 Thus far, five main genetic groups (Groups 1–5) involving at l...
