  5. 3. Cytomegalovirus infection in vascular diseases and transplant rejection

    Author : Mensur Dzabic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects 60-100% of the adult population. It belongs to the Herpesviridae family and establishes latency within its host post primary infection. HCMV reactivation is dependent on inflammation and the virus has evolved numerous mechanisms to sustain an inflammatory process and thus prolong its replication period. READ MORE

    Author : Anna Machowska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who develop kidney failure, renal replacement therapy (RRT) with kidney transplantation is the best treatment option. But if this is not possible due to lack of organs or medical factors, dialysis initiation with haemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) is required. READ MORE
