Keywords
Kidney transplant, CMV prevention
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to study how CMVIG interacts with the body and to see if it might work to prevent kidney transplant patients from becoming infected with CMV.
Interventions
Cytogam is used for the prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in kidney, lung, liver, pancreas, heart and bone marrow transplantation. We do not yet have data about how much cytogam reduces CMV in blood, or how quickly it reduces CMV in blood.
