Abstract excerpt
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) persists in the renourinary tract of most adults and can replicate under immunosuppression. In kidney transplant recipients (KTR), it may cause BKPyV-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN), while in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (HSCT), it is more often linked to hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). These clinical differences are generally attributed to the type of graft and...
