Consensus Definitions of BK Polyomavirus Nephropathy in Renal Transplant Recipients for Clinical Trials

Hannah Imlay et al.

Summary: BK polyomavirus infection and nephropathy are significant complications in renal transplant recipients. However, the lack of standardized outcome measures hampers clinical trials. To address this, experts have developed definitions of BK polyomavirus infection and disease, providing a framework for clinical research and drug development.

The 2018 Banff Working Group classification of definitive polyomavirus nephropathy: A multicenter validation study in the modern era

Volker Nickeleit et al.

Summary: This study validated the PVN classification scheme published by the Banff Working Group in 2018, confirming the independent association of PVN classification with clinical presentation, allograft function, and therapeutic intervention. The results demonstrated that the PVN classification can help predict the risk of transplant failure and functional decline in patients.

BK Polyomavirus Nephropathy in Kidney Transplantation: Balancing Rejection and Infection

Chia-Lin Shen et al.

Summary: BK polyomavirus nephropathy (BKVN) and allograft rejection are two closely-associated diseases in kidney transplant recipients, requiring a balanced immune system for treatment. While there is currently no standard curative therapy, patient outcomes can be improved through screening and reduction of immunosuppressants. New biomarkers and cellular therapy are being developed for the diagnosis and treatment of BKVN.
