Official title
Immune Registry for BK (Polyomavirus Hominis 1) in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Kidney transplantation (KT) is the best treatment modality available to date for patients with advanced kidney disease and the success of KT is dependent on maintaining a selective intricate balance between the risk of rejection and infections in KT recipients. BK virus is an important clinical infection affecting the post-transplant outcomes in KT recipients. BK nephropathy can affect 8-15% of patients after KT causing acute kidney injury, increased risk of rejection and fibrosis leading to additional hospital stays, increasing overall health care cost burden, and in some cases graft loss. The exact pathogenesis and treatment options for BK nephropathy are not clearly understood. It is debatable whether BK nephropathy is a full fledge donor-derived infection or reactivation of the recipient's latent infection. Irrespective of etiology, the common consensus is that treatment of BK virus infection depends on the selective restoration of host immune responses and balancing the risk of rejection vs worsening of infection.
