Cytomegalovirus and chronic rejection of liver grafts

1997-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This thesis tested the hypothesis that cytomegalovirus (CMV) may initiate or enhance chronic rejection of liver grafts. A polymerase chain reaction(PGR) test was developed and used to monitor 33 liver transplant patients for active CMV infection (Chapters 2 and 3). The incidence of urine PCR positivity and prolonged active CMV infection were risk factors for chronic rejection (Chapter 4). Matching and mismatching...
