چکیده
Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for many end-stage renal diseases that would otherwise require dialysis and renal replacement therapy.1 One of the main threats for graft survival is infection caused by the polyomavirus BK (BKV). The prevalence of clinically significant BKV reactivation after kidney transplantation varies, depending on the study, from 1 to 10% and the incidence of allograft loss due to BKV have ranged from as low as 10% to more than 80% of patients with clinically significant BKV Screening for BK virus nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients: comparison of diagnostic tests

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...

BK virus (BKV) is a polyomavirus with seroprevalence in adults, ranging from 60 to 100%. It is considered as usual cause of renal dysfunction after the allograft renal transplantation nephropathy. Potent immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation can lower the rate of acute rejection. Therefore, untreated BKV infections lead to kidney allograft dysfunction or loss. In order to estimate...
