Source and Relevance of the BK Polyomavirus Genotype for Infection After Kidney Transplantation
19 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) is a major threat for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). The role of specific BKPyV genotypes/serotypes in development of BKPyVAN is poorly understood. Pretransplantation serotyping of kidney donors and recipients and posttransplantation genotyping of viremic recipients, could reveal the clinical relevance of specific BKPyV variants. METHODS:...
