Progress on BK virus-associated nephropathy after kidney transplantation / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

BK virus infection after renal transplantation is associated with the increased risk of BK virus-associated nephropathy and graft loss.However, the lack of effective preventive measures and antiviral drugs has become a major cause of kidney transplantation failure.Therefore, early monitoring of BK virus load after kidney transplantation, adjustment of inhibition regimens, reduction of immunosuppressive drugs and adjuvant antiviral drugs are particularly important.The progress on BK virus-associated nephropathy after kidney transplantation is reviewed in the article.
