Native <scp>BK</scp> Viral Nephropathy After Pediatric Heart Transplantation Treated With Bilateral Native Nephrectomy and Living Donor Kidney Transplantation: A Case Report
BKV nephropathy is a rare entity in NRSOT patients. This case highlights the successful management of refractory BKV nephropathy in a pediatric heart transplant recipient through bilateral native nephrectomy, leading to an extended period of viral clearance and subsequent LDKT. Further studies are needed to explore the broader applicability of this approach in NRSOT recipients.
