Prevalence of high-risk HPV and atypia in liquid-based cytology of cervical and intra-anal specimens from kidney-transplanted women.

High-risk HPV and atypical cytology are very common in the cervix and anus of kidney-transplanted women. Furthermore, the presence of HPV in an anal sample correlates with an increased risk of atypical anal cytology. HPV tests could be useful tools for identifying patients who require anal cytology.
