Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Donor positivity with CMV can pose a problem to the recipient after the transplant. CMV can lead to several complications including loss of graft ( new kidney). Hence it should be treated aggressively in the form of ' prophylactic therapy'. As such , the donor is unrelated and would be given ' valgancyclovir' sicne the day of transplantation. Valgancyclovir should be given for at least 100 days after transplant and few centers might give it upto 200 days also. Some times , Gancyclovir also would be given. As the transplanation is living related here, you also can treat the donor before hand itself so that the viremia can come down ( Inj Gancyclovir or tablet valcyclovir for 21 days at least before transplantation. The less the viremia the better the prognosis.

Feel free to discuss further,
Regards

Hello,
No problem. You can go ahead with transplant as I said that she would require valgancyclovir for 200 days after transplant. Usually living transplant with unrelated donor (like cousin),would require the drug even otherwise as they would receive induction ( higher immunosuppressive drugs) therapy at the time of transplantation.
You can plan accordingly and best wishes to you
Let me know if i can ehlp you further,
Regards.
