Overview
BK virus is a virus that belongs to Polyomaviridae family that most people get in childhood. This virus commonly infects people but usually remains dormant. However, in some people, especially those with a weakened immune system, the virus can become active, leading to complications. BK virus infection in kidney transplant patients can cause kidney allograft dysfunction and graft loss.
