A self-consistent renormalization (RG) scheme has been applied to nonhelical magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with normalized cross helicity $\sigma_c =0$ and $\sigma_c \to 1$. Kolmogorov's 5/3 powerlaw is assumed in order to compute the renormalized parameters. It has been shown that the RG fixed point is stable for $d \ge d_c \approx 2.2$. The renormalized viscosity $\nu^*$ and resistivity $\eta^*$ have been calculated, and they are found to be positive for all parameter regimes. For $\sigma_c=0$ and large Alfv\'{e}n ratio (ratio of kinetic and magnetic energies) $r_A$, $\nu^*=0.36$ and $\eta^*=0.85$. As $r_A$ is decreased, $\nu^*$ increases and $\eta^*$ decreases, untill $r_A \approx 0.25$ where both $\nu^*$ and $\eta^*$ are approximately zero. For large $d$, both $\nu^*$ and $\eta^*$ vary as $d^{-1/2}$. The renormalized parameters for the case $\sigma_c \to 1$ are also reported.
