BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2022 BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous virus residing in the kidney tubules and is clinically significant only in immunocompromised patients. In clinical practice, BKPyV is a causative pathogen of BKPyV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) in kidney allograft

Glucocorticoids Do Not Enhance BK Polyomavirus Replication in Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells In Vitro. [PDF]
Clin Transl SciABSTRACT BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection may lead to BKPyV‐associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) and subsequent graft loss in kidney transplant recipients. Experimental studies have suggested that glucocorticoids (GCs) may enhance BKPyV replication through a steroid‐responsive element within the viral genome.
