Retrospective Analysis of Graft Loss Risk in Patients with BK Polyomavirus Associated Nephropathy in Relation to Rejection Status in a Multicentre Cohort with Regular Surveillance of BK Polyomavirus and Donor-Specific Antibody
Our study suggested that DSA monitoring would be warranted during immunosuppressant reduction for BKPyV-DNAemia and less aggressive reduction of immunosuppressant when DSA emerges might be a reasonable strategy to avoid overzealous reduction of immunosuppressant that could precipitate allograft rejection.
