Early clearance of BK polyomavirus‐DNAemia among kidney transplant recipients may lead to better graft survival
We found a trend of increased risk for uncensored graft failure among those who cleared BKPyV-DNAemia more slowly. Aiming to clear viremia early, without risking rejection, may be beneficial for allograft function and patient morbidity and mortality.
