BK virus (BKV) infection is an established cause of allograft dysfunction in renal transplant recipients. The relationship between BKV infection and chronic kidney disease (CKD) post-orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is not well understood. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of BKV in

JC virus (JCV) rarely causes kidney disease, whereas BK virus (BKV) is a known cause of viral nephropathy. Existing studies on prevalence of JCV in healthy and transplanted subjects have reported only qualitative detection of viral DNA. We used quantitative PCR (qPCR) to assess JC viral load in tran

The human Polyomavirus BK (BKV) contains a hypervariable non-coding control region (NCCR), which regulates DNA replication and RNA transcription. The aim of this study was to characterize BKV NCCR-variants in kidney biopsies and urine samples from renal-transplant patients and to see whether there i
