First confirmed case of native Polyomavirus BK nephropathy in a liver transplant recipient seven years post-transplant

Annals of Hepatology, 2015
Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in liver transplant recipients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. BK virus is a human polyoma virus that reactivates during immunocompromised states and is a known cause of renal allograft ...

High Incidence and Early Onset of Urinary Tract Cancers in Patients with BK Polyomavirus Associated Nephropathy

Viruses, 2021
Over-immunosuppressed kidney transplant recipients are susceptible to malignancies and BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN). This study aimed to verify the association between BKPyV infection and urinary tract cancers (UTC).

Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder Following BK Virus Infection in a Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipient

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Urothelial bladder carcinoma is extremely rare in children and its association with BK virus infection remains unclear. Methods We describe the case of an 11‐year‐old girl who developed a urothelial carcinoma of the bladder four years after receiving her first kidney transplant.

BK Polyomavirus in Renal Transplantation [PDF]

General Medicine: Open Access, 2014
BK virus is a human polyomavirus that rarely causes disease, except in immune-compromised patients. Evidence of prior BK Virus (BKV) infection is highly prevalent in the general population, and although it rarely causes significant morbidity at primary infection, reactivation of BKV after kidney transplantation is recognized as a cause of BKV ...

Electrochemical Biosensor for Rapid Detection of Acute Rejection in Kidney Transplants

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 1, 9 January 2026.
A low‐cost, rapid electrochemical immunosensor coated with a novel antifouling nanocomposite enables single‐step, dual‐biomarker profiling directly from unprocessed urine. Application in a clinical study shows accurate discrimination of acute rejection in kidney transplants from other acute kidney injuries via machine learning.

Conversion from mycophenolate mofetil to mizoribine in the early stages of BK polyomavirus infection could improve kidney allograft prognosis: a single-center study from China

BMC Nephrology, 2021
Background Some studies have suggested mizoribine (MZR) could inhibit the replication of BK polyomavirus (BKPyV). The purpose of this study was to explore whether conversion from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to MZR in the early stages of BKPyV infection ...

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 ...

Frequency of Polyomavirus BK Infection in Kidney Transplant Patients Suspected to Nephropathy

International Journal of Organ Transplantation Medicine, 2015
Background: Polyomavirus BK is a major cause of nephropathy in immunosuppressed transplanted patients. Non-invasive diagnostic protocols such as molecular detection of polyomavirus BK replication are a useful strategy to predict BK virus-associated ...

Presentation of BK polyomavirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Blood Advances, 2020
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) has been associated with hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but the natural history of HC and factors associated with the clinical course are incompletely understood.
