BMC Nephrology, 2021 Background Some studies have suggested mizoribine (MZR) could inhibit the replication of BK polyomavirus (BKPyV). The purpose of this study was to explore whether conversion from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to MZR in the early stages of BKPyV infection ...

BK virus nephropathy in a heart transplant recipient
Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2021 BK virus nephropathy in kidney transplantation is widely recognized as an important cause of graft dysfunction and loss. In the case of transplants of organs other than kidney, BK virus nephropathy in native kidneys has been recognized as a cause of ...

Simultaneous pancreas/kidney transplant recipients present with late-onset BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy [PDF]
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2016 Infections have increased in simultaneous pancreas/kidney transplant recipients (SPKTRs) with BK polyomavirus (BKV)-associated nephropathy (BKVN) being the most important infectious cause of allograft loss. Comparisons of BKVN with kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), however, are lacking.We studied all SPKTRs and KTRs at our transplant centre between ...

HLA-B Leader Dimorphism Predicts BK Polyomavirus Replication After Kidney Transplant. [PDF]
HLAABSTRACT BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) often replicate after kidney transplantation, with management limited to reducing immunosuppression and risking rejection. Among genetic factors that may modulate the antiviral response, HLA evolutionary divergence (HED, allowing a greater diversity of antigen presentation) and the HLA‐B leader

BK polyomavirus microRNA expression and sequence variation in polyomavirus-associated nephropathy
Journal of Clinical Virology, 2018 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 recipients. Information on BKPyV microRNA expressions is scarce, although polyomavirus-encoded microRNAs have been ...

Surveillance of polyomavirus BK in relation to immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation
Microbiologia Medica, 2012 Introduction. Reactivation of polyomavirus BK in kidney transplant recipients has been associated to the development of nephropathy (polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, PVAN), possibly leading to the loss of the transplanted organ.
