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.

Polyomavirus specific cellular immunity: from BK-virus-specific cellular immunity to BK-virus-associated nephropathy ? [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 In renal transplantation, BK-virus-associated nephropathy has emerged as a major complication, with a prevalence of 5–10% and graft loss in >50% of cases. BK-virus is a member of the Polyomavirus family and rarely induces apparent clinical disease in the

BK Virus in Cancer Development [PDF]
Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2018 Abstract Polyomavirus (PyV) was discovered by accident in 1950 in the course of describing an infectious factor causing multiple tumours in rodents. The term is derived from two Greek words: poly (many) and oma (tumour). At present the family of human polyomaviruses (HPyV) consists of 10 members.

European Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2006 As part of an epidemiological study of cancer in Uganda, we investigated the titre of antibodies against BK virus among 821 people with different cancer types and benign tumours. Among study participants, 790 were considered seropositive for anti-BK virus antibodies and all analyses were conducted on transformed data.

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.
