Preliminarily study the relationship of HCMV infection and renal disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>To detect HCMV DNA in morning urine samples by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive rates of HCMV DNA in the urine of pregnant women,sick newborns, hospitalized nephropathy patients, renal transplant recipients and normal population are 8.18%, 3.45%, 18.54%, 25.42%, 0.56%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The infection rates of HCMV in the urine of pregnant women and sick newborns are very high in Guangxi, it should take serious measures to prevent and control the situation.
