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.

Polyomavirus BK Nephropathy-Associated Transcriptomic Signatures: A Critical Reevaluation

Transplantation Direct, 2018
Background. Recent work using DNA microarrays has suggested that genes related to DNA replication, RNA polymerase assembly, and pathogen recognition receptors can serve as surrogate tissue biomarkers for polyomavirus BK nephropathy (BKPyVN). Methods.

Genetic variability of the VP1 gene of BK and JC polyomaviruses in HIV-infected patients [PDF]

Medicinski Podmladak, 2015
Human polyomaviruses, BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV), are world widely distributed in human population. After primary infection, BKV and JCV establish latency in kidneys and upper part of urinary tract. In seropositive healthy individuals asymptomatic

BK polyomavirus: latency, reactivation, diseases and tumorigenesis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
The identification of the first human polyomavirus BK (BKV) has been over half century, The previous epidemiological and phylogenetic studies suggest that BKV prevailed and co-evolved with humans, leading to high seroprevalence all over the world.

Role of BK Virus CTLs in the Treatment of BK Virus–Associated Nephropathy in Kidney‐Transplant and Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Third‐party, BK virus‐specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) were safe and effective in reducing viremia in kidney and stem cell transplant recipients with BK virus nephropathy. However, they did not improve kidney function. Earlier administration may be more beneficial before nephropathy and irreversible damage occur.

Full‐House Nephropathy Without Lupus Manifesting During Acute Kidney Allograft Rejection: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kidney transplantation increases the survival rate of end‐stage renal disease patients; however, acute rejection and glomerulonephritis, such as the uncommon non‐lupus full‐house nephropathy (NLFHN), can lead to graft dysfunction. NLFHN exhibits a characteristic lupus immunofluorescence pattern in the absence of systemic lupus features, which ...

BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in kidney transplant

Anales de la Facultad de Medicina, 2015
Two documented cases of BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (BKVN) seen at Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, EsSalud, Lima, Peru are reported. Final BKVN diagnosis was confirmed by renal biopsy and electron microscopy study. Case 1: Renal functional deterioration was not controlled despite reduction of immunosuppression and addition of antiviral ...
