Pretransplantation seroreactivity in kidney donors and recipients as a predictive factor for posttransplant BKPyV-DNAemia

Pretransplantation seroreactivity in kidney donors and recipients as a predictive factor for posttransplant BKPyV-DNAemia

BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) often reactivates after kidney transplantation, causing BKPyV-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) in 1%–10% of cases with a potential detrimental effect on allograft survival. Kidney transplant recipients are regularly screened for BKPyV DNA in plasma. As this strategy may not a...
