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 ...

Molecular Networks Involved in the Immune Control of BK Polyomavirus

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
BK polyomavirus infection is the important cause of virus-related nephropathy following kidney transplantation. BK virus reactivates in 30%–80% of kidney transplant recipients resulting in BK virus-related nephropathy in 1%–10% of cases.

Paediatric renal transplantation: Paediatric surgeons' perspective

Surgical Practice, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 117-122, May 2026.
Abstract Renal transplantation is the most effective treatment for paediatric end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), offering advantages in survival, growth and neurocognitive development that surpass other renal replacement therapies (RRT). The paediatric setting, however, introduces distinct complexities that distinguish it from adult practice.

A highly potent human antibody neutralizing all serotypes of BK polyomavirus.

PLoS Pathogens
BK polyomavirus infection poses a significant risk to kidney transplant recipients. Reactivation of dormant virus in the transplanted kidney, triggered by immunosuppression, can lead to BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in up to 10% of transplants ...
