Brief Summary

This study evaluates the safety and availability of oral valganciclovir(VGC) at the does of 450mg daily begin within 10 days after renal transplantation, and till to Day 100 posttransplant. Compare to the guidelines for effective antiviral prophylaxis, the investigators divide these patients into three groups in random. One third will oral VGC 450mg daily as mentioned above; one third will oral VGC 900mg daily; and the other one third will intravenous GCV 5mg/kg daily within the first 14 days posttransplant, and continue to oral GCV 1g 3 times daily till to Day 100 posttransplant; with does adjusted per renal function for all agents.
