Screening for polyomavirus associated nephropathy in renal transplantation with blood viral load measurement

Abstract Background Polyomavirus associated nephropathy (PVAN) is an important cause of graft failure in the renal transplant population. It has been shown that viremia precedes PVAN, suggesting that measurement of blood viral load could be used for PVAN screening. Objectives To verify the utility o...
