Long‐Term Outcomes of BK Viremia in Kidney Transplant Recipients
BK viremia did not impact mortality, graft loss, kidney function, GU malignancies, and ureteral stenosis over long-term follow-up, but BPAR episodes and development of de novo DSA were higher with viral loads >10 000 copies/mL. Strict monitoring protocols and immunosuppression reduction strategies are effective in minimizing the risk associated with BK viremia.
