Abstract
We review BK-virus nephropathy (BKN) as a new complication that increasingly affects renal allografts and causes dysfunction. Since starting in 1996, we have seen 11 cases. Currently, the prevalence of BKN is 3% in our graft biopsies. The diagnosis can only be made histologically. The virus affects tubular epithelial cells that show characteristic intranuclear inclusion bodies. The major reason for impaired graft function and a possible way for...
