Multiplexed Immunofluorescence to Investigate the Immune Response to BK Virus in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background: BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVN) is a significant complication in renal transplantation that leads to allograft dysfunction or failure. BKV is thought to reactivate as…2018 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of BK Viremia by Urine BK Viral Load in Renal Transplant Patients: BK Viral Load Results in Paired Urine and Plasma Samples
BK virus (BKV) associated nephropathy (BKVAN) affects up to 10% of renal transplant recipients, causing graft failure without intervention; a presumptive BKVAN diagnosis is made…2017 American Transplant Congress
Full Dose Cyclosporine Permanently Reverses Uncontrolled BK Viremia That Is Refractory to Tacrolimus Minimization.
Medicine, UCSD School of Medicine, San Diego, CA
