Longitudinal study of BKV outcomes, risk factors, and kinetics in renal transplantation patients
ConclusionsWe identified diabetes and hyperlipidemia as potential risk factors for development of high BK viremia and/or BKVN. IVIG was seen to be effective in reducing viral titers. The period 3–9 months post-transplantation was identified as important for development of BKVN from high BK viremia.
