Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-associated nephropathy (BKPyVN), the dynamics of BKPyV replication are not well established. We aim to investigate BKPyV genetic diversity and evolution following kidney transplant. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 32 KTRs with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of BKPyVN. Stored plasma and kidney biopsies were tested for BKPyV viral...
