Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders in Irish Renal Transplant Recipients: Insights From a National Observational Study

Abstract

We found a paucity of early onset PTLD in our cohort with no cases in the first posttransplant year. Potential contributing factors included a high prevalence of previous Epstein-Barr virus exposure and a relatively low immunological risk profile in our recipient cohort compared with prior studies. Further studies are required to reevaluate the epidemiology of PTLD in the modern era of transplant immunosuppression.
