Risk Factors Associated With the Absence of CMV-specific Cellular Immune Response in the Early Post-transplant Period in Low-risk CMV-seropositive Kidney Transplant Recipients

Sponsor: Maimónides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to identify risk factors associated with the absence of CMV-specific cellular immune response in low-risk CMV-seropositive kidney transplant recipients in the early post-transplant period. The participant population includes adult CMV-seropositive kidney transplant recipients who did not receive antithymocyte globulin (ATG) induction therapy and underwent QuantiFERON-CMV testing within the first 45 days after transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Is it possible to predict which patients will fail to develop a CMV-specific cellular immune response before day 45 post-transplant in the absence of directly available immune assessment techniques? Researchers will compare patients with reactive QuantiFERON-CMV results to patients with non-reactive or indeterminate results to identify factors associated with the absence of CMV-specific cellular immune response. Participants will have retrospective clinical and laboratory data collected from medical records.
