Late-onset BK viral nephropathy in a kidney transplant recipient.
BK polyoma viral infection occurs as an asymptomatic infection in a high proportion of normal hosts without obvious sequelae. In the kidney transplant population, the virus is reactivated because of reduced immunity and, if not appropriately managed, can lead to BK viral nephropathy, which has emerged as a common cause of acute kidney injury and progressive chronic kidney disease in renal trans...
متن کاملBk Virus Nephropathy in a Heart Transplant Recipient: the First Documented Case in Croatia
As outcomes following heart transplantation have improved significantly over the last years, chronic kidney disease has become an increasingly prevalent complication in this population. Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) of native kidneys has also been recognized increasingly as a cause of kidney failure. We report the first case of PVAN occurring in the native kidneys of a solid-organ ...
متن کاملBK virus nephropathy in the native kidneys of a pediatric heart transplant recipient.
BK virus is a human polyoma virus that may cause nephropathy in immunosuppressed patients. It is a well-recognized cause of renal allograft dysfunction and allograft loss in renal transplant recipients, but it is an infrequent cause of nephropathy outside this setting. There are a few case reports of BK virus nephropathy in the native kidneys of immunosuppressed adult patients with non-renal tr...
متن کاملQuantitation of BK Virus DNA for Diagnosis of BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy in Renal Transplant Recipients
Quantitative measurement of BK virus DNA (Q-BKDNA) has been used for the early diagnosis and monitoring of BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN). This study was designed to determine the BKDNA cutoff for the diagnosis of BKVAN. Between June 2005 and February 2007, 64 renal transplant recipients taken renal biopsies due to renal impairment submitted plasma and urine for Q-BKDNA. Eight BKVAN pa...
متن کاملBK Virus in Kidney Transplant Recipients: The Influence of Immunosuppression
The incidence of BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients has increased over recent decades, coincident with the use of more potent immunosuppression. More importantly, posttransplant BK virus replication has emerged as an important cause of graft damage and subsequent graft loss. Immunosuppression has been accepted as a major risk for BK virus replication. However, the specific contr...
