*Immune compromised renal transplants very occasionally become CMV+ or EBV+. This occurs when the donor is positive for CMV or EBV and the recipient was negative.The blood test is done by the Cadham Lab.The nephologist will document his in the history or progress notes.The transplant recipient will be started on anti-viral medications approximately one week post-op and will continue these medications for six months and in conjunction their immune suppression drug dosage will be titrated lower. | *Immune compromised renal transplants very occasionally become CMV+ or EBV+.

*N.B Chronic renal failure patients who receive a transplant that is not successful,cannot have acute renal failure as an acquired diagnosis for our medical collection data program.This might be captured as delayed graft function/renal transplant problems other,or sometimes it is related to acute tubular necrosis and can be proven by renal biopsy. Other problems will be documented by the Nephrologists. | *N.B Chronic renal failure patients who receive a transplant that is not successful,cannot have acute renal failure as an acquired diagnosis for our medical collection data program.This might be captured as delayed graft function/renal transplant problems other,or sometimes it is related to acute tubular necrosis and can be proven by renal biopsy.
