Abstract:
BK polyomavirus reactivation is a common complication after kidney transplantation, affecting the long-term survival of the transplanted kidney. However, it is unclear whether iron levels affect BKPyV reactivation after kidney transplantation. We first found that preoperative transferrin saturation levels in renal transplant recipients were closely associated with post-transplant BK virus reactivation and progression.
