Molecular Evaluation of BK Polyomavirus Nephropathy
American Journal of Transplantation, 2005 Understanding at a molecular level, the immunologic response of polyomavirus nephropathy (PVN), a critical cause of kidney graft loss, could lead to new targets for treatment and diagnosis. We undertook a transcriptional evaluation of kidney allograft biopsies from recipients with PVN or acute rejection (AR), as well as from recipients with stable ...

BK Polyomavirus-Induced Nephropathy in Native Kidney
Cureus, 2023 BK polyomavirus has been well-studied as an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised kidney transplant patients. In the majority of the population, BK polyomavirus establishes a lifelong infection in renal tubular and uroepithelial cells; however, in an immunocompromised state, the virus can reactivate and can lead to BK polyomavirus-associated ...
