Lack of Specificity of LC-MS/MS Based Urinary Biomarkers for Polyomavirus BK Nephropathy (BKPyVN).
Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based studies have suggested that BKPyVN leads to the excretion of virus-specific urinary peptides which can serve as diagnostic markers…2017 American Transplant Congress
Alemtuzumab Induction Is Associated with a Lower Incidence of BK Virus Nephropathy Compared with IL2RA Induction.
Renal Medicine, West London Renal and Transplant Centre, London, United Kingdom
Introduction:BK polyoma virus associated nephropathy [BKVAN] is a major cause of allograft dysfunction and graft loss occurring in up to 10% of kidney allograft recipients…2017 American Transplant Congress
BKV Clearance Time Correlates with T-Cell Receptor Repertoire Shape and Exhaustion State of BKV-Specific T-Cells in Renal Transplant Patients with Severe BKV Infection.
Reactivation of the BK polyomavirus is known to lead to severe complications in kidney transplant patients. The current treatment strategy relies on decreasing the immunosuppression…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
Latent BK infection is benign and common in transplanted kidneys, but active infection causes viremia and kidney damage. Standard practice is to reduce tacrolimus (TAC)…2017 American Transplant Congress
Association of BK and CMV Viremia with Pancreas Allograft Survival Among Adults Receiving Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplant: The Wisconsin Allograft Recipient Database (WisARD).
Department of Medicine, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
Knowing impact of BKV viremia and CMV infection on pancreas allograft outcome post Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney transplant (SPK) may improve allograft long-term survival and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Immunosuppressive Regimen Modification Approaches in BK Nephropathy – A Comparative Study.
Department of Medicine, University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore, MD
The optimal approach for IS reduction in renal transplant recipients with BKN is not well defined. A number of clinical and in vitro studies suggest…2017 American Transplant Congress
BK Virus in Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplantation.
BK virus (BKV) may produce nephropathy that could lead to graft failure. The most effective treatment is to decrease immunosuppression (IS). In simultaneous pancreas kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of BKV Subtype Distribution on BKV Nephropathy, Viremia, and Renal Outcome in Patients After Renal Transplantation.
Factors determining the course of BK viral (BKV) infection remain uncertain. We studied the role of BKV subtype distribution in BKV-infected patients after renal transplantation.-We…2016 American Transplant Congress
HLA Class II and BK Virus Reactivation in Renal Transplant Recipients.
BK Viremia (BKV) and subsequent BK nephropathy are associated with renal graft loss. The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) region has been implicated in susceptibility to…2016 American Transplant Congress
Increased Gene Expression of TGF-β in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Renal Transplant Patients with Polyomavirus BK Viremi.
We aimed to investigate the roles of cytokines during polyomavirus BK (BKV) reactivation in renal transplant patients. Forty-eight renal allograft recipients were enrolled in this…
