Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the use of the Viracor® CMV immunity assay at 6 months post-transplant in CMV high risk kidney transplant recipients would help identify those patients at higher risk of post-prophylaxis CMV viremia or disease and thereby select those patients in which a longer duration of valganciclovir prophylaxis would be beneficial.
