Following kidney transplantation (KT), cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains an important challenge. Both prophylactic and preemptive antiviral protocols are used for CMV high-risk kidney recipients (donor seropositive/recipient seronegative; D+/R–). We performed a nationwide comparison of the 2 strategies in de novo D+/R– KT recipients accessing long-term outcomes. Methods. A nationwide retrospective study was conducted from 2007 to 2018, with follow-up until February 1, 2022. All adult D+/R– and R+ KT recipients were included. During the first 4 y, D+/R– recipients were managed preemptively, changing to 6 mo of valganciclovir prophylaxis from 2011. To adjust for the 2 time eras, de novo intermediate-risk (R+) recipients, who received preemptive CMV therapy throughout the study period, served as longitudinal controls for possible confounders. Results. A total of 2198 KT recipients (D+/R–, n = 428; R+, n = 1770) were included with a median follow-up of 9.4 (range, 3.1–15.1) y. As expected, a greater proportion experienced a CMV infection in the preemptive era compared with the prophylactic era and with a shorter time from KT to CMV infection (P < 0.001). However, there were no differences in long-term outcomes such as patient death (47/146 [32%] versus 57/282 [20%]; P = 0.3), graft loss (64/146 [44%] versus 71/282 [25%]; P = 0.5), or death censored graft loss (26/146 [18%] versus 26/282 [9%]; P = 0.9) in the preemptive versus prophylactic era. Long-term outcomes in R+ recipients showed no signs of sequential era–related bias. Conclusions. There were no significant differences in relevant long-term outcomes between preemptive and prophylactic CMV-preventive strategies in D+/R– kidney transplant recipients.

(1) for their interest in our posthoc analysis of the influence of immunosuppressive intensity on CMV outcomes in the VICTORtrial (2–4). Although predefined end-points were used in this posthoc analysis, these were not end-points in the primary study (VICTOR-trial) and, as mentioned in the paper, the analysis was intended as a pure hypothesis generating work. The type of data collected limited the use of specific statistical methods, for example, that the CNI levels had to be dichotomized and analyzed together in groups without correction for other immunosuppressive drugs.

Duplex Doppler, color Doppler and power Doppler can all reveal important information. In addition, calculation of the resistance and pulsatility indices to quantify changes in the spectral Doppler waveform can be of great help, particularly in the first weeks and months following a transplantation. The Doppler part of the examination should evaluate the vessels to and from the transplant, as well as the parenchyma with calculations of indices to detect the presence of increased vascular resistance. The conclusions drawn from the Doppler-derived information combined with the results from gray-scale scanning and clinical information will very often be of clinical significance for the handling of the patient.
