Virus tracking study aims to protect transplant patients from cancer risk

NCT ID NCT04189835

Summary

This study followed 509 kidney transplant patients to understand how monitoring Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) levels might help predict serious risks. Researchers tracked patients' blood for persistent EBV infection to see if it signaled a higher chance of developing certain cancers, severe infections requiring hospital stays, or death. The goal was to gather evidence to help doctors better manage immune-suppressing medications after transplantation.
