Advances in BK Virus Complications in Organ Transplantation and Beyond

Kidney Medicine, 2020
Reactivation of BK virus (BKV) remains a dreaded complication in immunosuppressed states. Conventionally, BKV is known as a cause for BKV-associated nephropathy and allograft dysfunction in kidney transplant recipients.

The clinical significance of BK viremia and the effect of cyclosporine and/or mizoribine on BK virus infection

Transplantation Reports, 2018
Introduction: The diagnosis of BK virus nephropathy is based on renal biopsy findings, and the diagnosis of presumptive BK virus nephropathy is made by sustained plasma BK virus DNA loads of > 4 log10 copies/ml.

BK Virus: A Clinical Review [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2001
We present a review of the clinically oriented literature about BK virus, a relative of JC virus, which is the etiologic agent of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The kidney, lung, eye, liver, and brain have been proposed as sites of BK virus-associated disease, both primary and reactivated.

Donor-derived Cell-free DNA and the Prediction of BK Virus-associated Nephropathy

Transplantation Direct, 2020
Background. Approximately 15% of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) develop BK viremia (BKV), with 1%–10% developing BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN), which histologically resembles rejection.

Different behaviour of BK-virus infection in liver transplant recipients [PDF]

, 2016
Polyomavirus BK (BKV) infects up to 90% of the general population. After primary infection, occurring early during childhood, a state of non-replicative infection is established in the reno-urinary tract, without complications for immunocompetent hosts ...
