Efficacy of mTOR Inhibitors and Intravenous Immunoglobulin for Treatment of Polyoma BK Nephropathy in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Biopsy-Proven Study
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with polyoma BK virus nephropathy, clearance of viremia and SV40 should not be the sole outcomes to obtain. Aggressive reductions in maintenance immunosuppression and switching to double-drug therapy combined with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin leads to high rates of graft loss/rejection and sequalae of chronic histological changes.PMID:38385385 | DOI:10.6002/ect.MESOT2023.O29
