Importance of molecular diagnostic of viral infections in renal transplant recipients
Lilli Gard
1. Immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporine A results in earlier clearance of BK polyomavirus viremia if compared to tacrolimus (this thesis).
2. The risk of rejection is lower with an immunosuppressive regimen consisting of tacrolimus, compared to cyclosporine A (this thesis).
3. BK polyomavirus miRNA detection has no additional value com-pared to BK polyomavirus DNA monitoring (this thesis).
4. Measuring BK polyomavirus donor-recipient pair seroreactivity can be used, as a predictor for BK polyomavirus viremia and nephropathy after renal transplantation (Am J transplant 2017; 17 (1): 161-172).
5. The intensity of cytomegalovirus infection has influence on renal function, rather than the infection itself (this thesis).
6. Epstein-Barr virus DNA load monitoring has an added value in Ep-stein-Barr virus seronegative renal transplant recipients (this thesis).
7. Diagnostic and antimicrobial stewardship is important in patient-tai-lored transplantation. (J Clin Microbiol 2017 Mar;55 (33):715-723 and JAMA. 2017;318:607-608).
8. Specifieke markers voor het goed kunnen instellen van immuun-suppressie zijn noodzakelijk om een juiste balans te vinden tussen het verminderen van een infectie en het tegen gaan van afstoting.
9. Irrend lernt man (Johan Wolfgang von Goethe).
10. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. (Mahatma Ghandi)
