BK Polyomavirus-specific T cell immune responses in kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with BK Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Adjustment of immunosuppression is the main therapy for BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) after kidney transplantation (KT). Studies of BKPyV-specific T cell immune response are scarce.

BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy [PDF]

Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2022
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous virus residing in the kidney tubules and is clinically significant only in immunocompromised patients. In clinical practice, BKPyV is a causative pathogen of BKPyV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) in kidney allograft

Cellular immunity in BK polyomavirus associated nephropathy following adult kidney transplantation

Transplantation Reports, 2022
Background: BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is the most important polyomavirus affecting renal transplant recipients. BKPyV associated nephropathy (BKVAN) is seen in about 5% of renal transplant patients and can lead to graft loss in up to 50% of cases ...

BK polyomavirus microRNA expression and sequence variation in polyomavirus-associated nephropathy [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2018
Background: BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection is a common asymptomatic viral infection in the general population. Severe complications are seen in immunocompromised individuals, such as polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN) in renal transplant ...

BK viremia in critically ill surgical patients with hemorrhagic or septic shock [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Infections with polyomavirus BK virus (BKV) are a common cause of renal dysfunction after renal transplantation and may also be harmful in surgical patients with shock. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of BKV viremia

Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Kidney Transplant Recipients With BK Polyomavirus-Associated Nephropathy. [PDF]

Kidney Int Rep, 2023
BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) is associated with graft dysfunction and loss; however, knowledge of immunosuppression reduction strategies and long-term graft, and patient outcomes across the disease spectrum is lacking.This cohort study included 14,697 kidney transplant recipients in Australia and New Zealand (2005-2019), followed ...
