BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy after Renal Transplantation
Pathogens, 2021 Recent advances in immunosuppressive therapy have reduced the incidence of acute rejection and improved renal transplantation outcomes. Meanwhile, nephropathy caused by BK virus has become an important cause of acute or chronic graft dysfunction.

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2018 BK virus nephropathy is a serious complication of kidney transplantation. Although 10%–30% of kidney recipients have BK viremia, nephropathy occurs in approximately 2% ([1][1]). Nephropathy is most common early after transplant when immunosuppression is at its peak.

BK Virus Replication in the Glomerular Vascular Unit: Implications for BK Virus Associated Nephropathy [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 Background: BK polyomavirus (BKV) reactivates from latency after immunosuppression in renal transplant patients, resulting in BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN). BKVAN has emerged as an important cause of graft dysfunction and graft loss among transplant patients.

Update on the Management of BK Virus Infection
Experimental and Clinical Transplantation, 2020 The BK polyomavirus was isolated in 1971; it has been a significant risk factor for both graft dysfunction and failure in renal transplant recipients. So far, no specific treatment option has been available for effective treatment or prophylaxis for BK virus infections.

High-level viruria as a screening tool for BK virus nephropathy in renal transplant recipients
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2016 Background: Although early monitoring of BK virus infection in renal transplant patients has led to improved outcomes over the past decade, it remains unclear whether monitoring for viremia is the best screening tool for BK virus nephropathy (BKVN ...

BK Virus Nephropathy in Kidney Transplantation: A State-of-the-Art Review
Viruses, 2022 BK virus maintains a latent infection that is ubiquitous in humans. It has a propensity for reactivation in the setting of a dysfunctional cellular immune response and is frequently encountered in kidney transplant recipients. Screening for the virus has

BK virus infection and outcome following kidney transplantation in childhood
Scientific Reports, 2021 BK virus associated nephropathy (BKN) is an important cause of kidney allograft failure. In a cohort of paediatric kidney transplant recipients, we aimed to understand the incidence and clinical outcome associated with BKN, as well as identify risk ...

BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis after pediatric stem cell transplantation [PDF]
Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2014 Hemorrhagic cystitis is a common stem cell transplantation-related complication. The incidence of early-onset hemorrhagic cystitis, which is related to the pretransplant conditioning regimen, has decreased with the concomitant use of mesna and ...
