Abstract

BK virus and BK virus nephropathy can lead to graft failure in kidney transplant. However, in clinical settings, monitoring and detecting BK virus infection remains a challenge. This study described the clinical characteristics of BK virus infection and explored factors associated with infection in patients who had kidney transplantation with follow-up visits at Bach Mai Hospital from January 2018 to June 2022. Among the 81 patients in the study, 31 had BK virus infection (38.3%), of which, there were 20 patients with simple BK viruria (24.7%) and 11 patients with viremia (14.6%). There were 4/28 (14.3%) patients whose kidney biopsy confirmed BK virus nephropathy. BK virus infection was related to the use of Tacrolimus with dose higher than 7 ng/ml, low glomerular filtration rate, and graft failure.
