Abstract:Introduction: This study investigated variables associated with mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) diagnosed with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) and a simultaneous Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viremia. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study enrolling KTRs diagnosed with PTLD between 2018 and 2020. Outcome: death within two years after diagnosis. Results: Among 1,625 KTRs who collected EBV viremia (by PCR, 2018–2020) for any reason, 238 (14.6%) had a positive viral load a… Show more
