background: primary infection with bk virus (bkv) is occurred during childhood and usually asymptomatic, but after initial infection, bkv may persist lifelong in the kidney and genitourinary tract. reactivation may occur in individuals with compromised immunity such as renal transplant recipients. due to the role of bkv in bk virus-associated nephropathy (bkvan) and potentially renal allograft ...

results two weeks after transplantation, the mean tpe decreased to 0.052 ± 0.002, which was significant compared to pre-hd (p < 0.001) and post-hd (p = 0.019). the mean tpec was 0.059 ± 0.002, which, just in comparison to pre-hd, was significant (p = 0.005). in addition, the mean tpe/qt decreased to 0.143 ± 0.005, which was significant compared to pre-hd (p = 0.018). the mean qtd was 0.066 ± 0....

Sixty four infants had postnatal hydronephrosis at one and/or six weeks after delivery; 21 of these had urological anomalies. Twelve infants had vesico-ureteri...
