Abstract One of the most opportunistic infection in kidney transplant recipients is Cytomegalovirus. This study was conducted to find the frequency of cytomegalo-virus IgM and IgG in kidney transplant donors and recipients.

Total 05 (2.4 %) recipients were CMV IgG negative and 03 (1.4%) CMV IgM positive. Out of two hundred five recipients 200 (98%) were IgG positive and 202(99%) were IgM negative. All the donors were CMV IgM negative and CMV IgG positive. Conclusion: There is very high frequency of CMV IgM and IgG positivity in donors and recipient of renal transplant in our population so we should consider prophylactic therapy.
