Abstract: (64 Views)
Background and Aim: Various viral infections are one of the risk factors of kidney transplant rejection in patients receiving this organ. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the frequency of viral infections in kidney transplant recipients in Iran.
Materials and Methods: This study was a systematic review. Keywords in the titles or abstracts of the articles published in Persian and English were searched in various databases during the period 2013-2023.
Results: A total of 2822 samples were examined, the largest and smallest sample sizes being 1615 and 50 patients, respectively. The highest viral infection frequencies were found in Gilan, Mashhad, Rasht and Ahvaz provinces with frequencies of 54 (52.9%), 54 (21.9%), 54 (49%) and 51 (41.8%), respectively. The frequencies of BK virus, cytomegalovirus and hepatitis C virus were the most common viral infections among the kidney transplant recipients.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study and higher prevalence of BK and CMV virus infections in kidney transplant recipients it is essential to screen organ donors for these viruses in the country.
