Adenoviral infections in post-transplant patients have been described in multiple organ systems, most classically the lung, liver, and alimentary tract. In the genitourinary tract, hemorrhagic cystitis is most frequently observed. Clinically apparent renal involvement with adenovirus is rare, and adenovirus-associated interstitial nephritis (AAIN) is an uncommon cause of renal allograft failure. Here, we present three cases of AAIN in patients who, after prompt diagnosis and treatment adjustment, experienced a return of allograft function. All patients were on standard triple therapy with tacrolimus levels within the target range at the time of biopsy. None of the patients had respiratory symptoms, and despite diarrhea, colon biopsies were negative. Only case one had positive adenovirus serology (IgG only) and case three had positive urine; two patients had leukopenia without neutropenia. Renal biopsies showed a characteristic granulomatous tubulocentric mixed lymphocytic and neutrophilic infiltrate. Adenovirus immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed strong staining in the tubular epithelium (nuclear and cytoplasmic) while staining for polyomavirus was negative. A follow-up biopsy two months after the diagnosis of AAIN in one patient revealed persistent cytopathic effects with negative adenoviral IHC staining while a biopsy at one year in another patient showed glomerular and tubulointerstitial scarring. AAIN is an uncommon but important etiology to consider in cases of acute renal allograft dysfunction. Although the presenting symptoms for AAIN are nonspecific, hematuria is frequently noted. Adenovirus IHC should be considered in cases with granulomatous inflammation associated with necrosis and mixed inflammatory infiltrate. As demonstrated in this single-institution case series, prompt diagnosis can result in the preservation of the renal allograft. Lasting cytopathic effects after adenoviral infection should also be considered in patients with a history, or potential history, of AAIN.
