Abbreviations: Tx transplantation, CMV Cytomegalovirus, MPGN membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, FSGS focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, GBM glomerular basement membrane, SLE systemic lupus erythematosus, TIN tubulointerstitial nephritis, Tac tacrolimus, Cyc cyclosporine, MMF mycophenolate mofetil, Pred prednisolon, RRT renal replacement therapy, HD haemodialysis, PD peritoneal dialysis, IQR interquartile range. aAge at Tx. bpatients with consistent CMV serostatus. cCMV-load of patients was evaluated after transplantation and (val) ganciclovir was given if positive load was found. Treatments stopped when CMV-load < 100 copies/ml for two times. d2 patients switched from Tac to Cyc owing to side effects. eData of lymphocytes counts were available in 33 patients
