Longitudinal alterations in the urinary virome of kidney transplant recipients are influenced by BK viremia and patient sex

Microbiology Spectrum
Little is known about the urinary virome and how it interacts with the host, particularly in renal transplant diseases. Using metagenomic sequencing, we characterized the urinary virome of 23 kidney transplant recipients longitudinally (11 BKV+ patients ...

First-time use of pathogen absorptive device in severe BK DNAemia/BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy post kidney transplantation

Pediatric Nephrology
Abstract Background BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-associated nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients is an important cause of allograft dysfunction and premature allograft failure. Treatment options for BKPyV-DNAemia following kidney transplantation remain limited.
