BackgroundCytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the major factors that affect morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant (KTx) patients. The rate of CMV seropositivity in children before KTx is lower than that in adults; therefore, pediatric KTx patients have a higher risk of CMV infection. In Japanese pediatric KTx patients, preemptive therapy for CMV infection is a main conventional therapy. This study investigated whether this preemptive treatment would affect kidney function at 2 years post‐KTx.MethodsA total of 163 patients, that is approximately half of the Japanese pediatric KTx patients nationwide, were recruited to participate in our study. We compared the values of the sequential estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at two years post‐KTx and other influencing factors in CMV viremia, CMV disease, and no‐infection groups.ResultsCytomegalovirus infection after KTx occurred in 75 patients (46.0%), 38.7% of whom developed CMV disease. The sequential eGFR values post‐KTx did not differ significantly between the three groups. CMV infection was not significantly correlated with other factors, other infections (including Epstein‐Barr [EB] virus infection), acute rejection (AR), or adverse events. Only prolonged duration of total hospitalization was significantly associated with CMV infection (P= .002). In the multivariate analysis, younger age, CMV infection, and adverse effects were independently significantly related to prolonged total hospitalization.ConclusionPreemptive therapy for CMV infection evidenced by viremia and disease did not significantly influence kidney function in Japanese pediatric KTx patients at two years after the operation.
