WCN23-1106 POLYOMAVIRUS TYPE BK-ASSOCIATED NEPHROPATHY IN A NON-KIDNEY TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyomavirus type BK-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) develops from reactivation of latent infection in urothelium and kidney tubular epithelium. While BK viremia may occur a variety immunosuppressed states, BKVAN exclusively allografts. We report case middle-aged man with remote history allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who had chronic disease (CKD) secondary to BKVAN.

Late-onset BK viral nephropathy in a kidney transplant recipient.
BK polyoma viral infection occurs as an asymptomatic infection in a high proportion of normal hosts without obvious sequelae. In the kidney transplant population, the virus is reactivated because of reduced immunity and, if not appropriately managed, can lead to BK viral nephropathy, which has emerged as a common cause of acute kidney injury and progressive chronic kidney disease in renal trans...
متن کاملFirst confirmed case of native polyomavirus BK nephropathy in a liver transplant recipient seven years post-transplant.
Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in liver transplant recipients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. BK virus is a human polyoma virus that reactivates during immunocompromised states and is a known cause of renal allograft dysfunction in renal transplant recipients. However, BK nephropathy of native kidneys is rare in non-renal transplant recipients. There is no publish...
متن کاملMonitoring subtypes of the human polyomavirus BK in Iranian adult kidney transplant patients
BK virus (BKV) is a polyomavirus with seroprevalence in adults, ranging from 60 to 100%. It is considered as usual cause of renal dysfunction after the allograft renal transplantation nephropathy. Potent immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation can lower the rate of acute rejection. Therefore, untreated BKV infections lead to kidney allograft dysfunction or loss. In order to estimate...
متن کاملPre-transplant immune factors may be associated with BK polyomavirus reactivation in kidney transplant recipients
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) reactivation in kidney transplant recipients can lead to allograft damage and loss. The elements of the adaptive immune system that are permissive of reactivation and responsible for viral control remain incompletely described. We performed a prospective study evaluating BKPyV-specific T-cell response, humoral response and overall T-cell phenotype beginning pre-transplan...
متن کاملFrequency of Polyomavirus BK Infection in Kidney Transplant Patients Suspected to Nephropathy
BACKGROUND Polyomavirus BK is a major cause of nephropathy in immunosuppressed transplanted patients. Non-invasive diagnostic protocols such as molecular detection of polyomavirus BK replication are a useful strategy to predict BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN). OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of polyomavirus BK infection among kidney transplant patients suspected to have BKVAN. ...
