Test guide
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA Quantification
Quantifies CMV DNA for transplant monitoring and disease management.
What it is for
Guides pre-emptive therapy in hematopoietic stem cell and solid-organ transplant recipients, monitors response to antiviral treatment, and supports congenital CMV diagnosis when performed on the right specimens.
Limitations
Results are not standardized across platforms — trends on one assay matter more than cross-platform comparison. Viral load thresholds for intervention depend on transplant type and local protocol; whole blood and plasma results are not interchangeable.
Also known as
