BK Virus Nephropathy Revisited [PDF]
American Journal of Transplantation, 2017 More than 20 years after its first description and increased morbidity under powerful immunosuppression, the understanding of the pathogenesis of BK polyomavirus induced allograft nephropathy (BKVN) has changed clinical practice in renal transplantation.

BK Virus in Kidney Transplant Recipients: The Influence of Immunosuppression
Journal of Transplantation, 2011 The incidence of BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients has increased over recent decades, coincident with the use of more potent immunosuppression.

Journal of General Virology, 1982 Human embryonic fibroblasts (HEF) have been transformed by BK virus (BKV) DNA and by u.v.-inactivated or live BKV alone or in association with methyl-cholanthrene (MTC). The transformed cells produced BKV large T and small t antigens as well as the cellular 53 kdal protein, detected by immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation.

Prevalence of anti-BK polyomavirus IgG in A Sample of Iraqi renal transplant recipients
Diyala Journal of Medicine, 2022 Background: BK virus, a human polyomavirus, causes nephropathy and allograft loss in renal transplant recipients. Although it was discovered in 1971, understanding of the humoral immune response to BKV is limited.

Molecular Networks Involved in the Immune Control of BK Polyomavirus
Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012 BK polyomavirus infection is the important cause of virus-related nephropathy following kidney transplantation. BK virus reactivates in 30%–80% of kidney transplant recipients resulting in BK virus-related nephropathy in 1%–10% of cases.

BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy without Viremia in an Adolescent Kidney Transplant Recipient
Siriraj Medical Journal, 2017 BK virus can reactivate in kidney transplant recipients leading to BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and allograft dysfunction. Pathogenesis begins with viral replication, follows by viruria, viremia and nephropathy.
