Early BK polyomavirus (BKV) reactivation in donor kidney is a risk factor for development of BKV-associated nephropathy.
The pathogenesis of BK polyomavirus (BKV) infection and associated nephropathy in renal transplant recipients is not clearly understood. To gain insight, urine and plasma samples were collected from 112 renal transplant recipients before and after transplantation and tested for the presence of BKV by polymerase chain reaction. Detection of BKV infection very early (ie, 5 days) after transplanta...

Background & Amis: BK polyomavirus (BKV) is common infection of childhood that persists in kidney epithelium. BKV reactivation characterized by viruria occurs in 35% to 57% of renal allograft recipients. BK virus was detected in serum samples in 6% to 29% of these patients. BKV-associated nephropathy occurs in as many as 8% of renal allograft recipients and may lead to . This study was carri...
متن کاملCorrelates of quantitative measurement of BK polyomavirus (BKV) DNA with clinical course of BKV infection in renal transplant patients.
BK virus-allograft nephropathy (BKVAN) is an increasingly recognized complication after kidney transplantation. Quantitative tests have been advocated to monitor patients, but data demonstrating their efficacy are relatively limited. We developed a real-time PCR assay to quantitate BK virus loads in the setting of renal transplantation, and we correlated the BK virus load with clinical course a...
متن کاملImmunity to Polyomavirus BK Infection: Immune Monitoring to Regulate the Balance between Risk of BKV Nephropathy and Induction of Alloimmunity
Polyomavirus BK-associated nephropathy (PyVAN) is the main infectious cause of allograft damage after kidney transplantation. A number of studies revealed an association between the presence of BKV-specific cellular immunity and BK viral clearance, with patients failing to recover specific T cells progressing to PyVAN. Evolution to allograft dysfunction can be prevented by restoration of BKV-sp...

Urinary shedding of BKV is increased in immunocomIn 1971, two human polyomaviruses were discovered, BK virus (BKV ) from the urine of a renal transplant promising conditions. BKV infection has been linked to occasional cases of cystitis in immunocompetent recipient (whose initials were B.K.) and JC virus (JCV ) from the brain of a patient (whose initials were J.C.) children, to glomerulonephrit...
