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.
