U.S., Dec. 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07256470) titled 'Salivary Replication of BK Virus in Post-kidney Transplant' on Nov. 20.
Brief Summary: BK virus infection in kidney transplantation can compromise graft function. Current data suggest that BK virus nephropathy results not only from transmission of virus from the donor but also from reactivation of latent virus in the recipient. However, no study has investigated the possibility of respiratory transmission. This study would provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology of BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients. The investigators would study viral replication of BK virus in saliva, urine and blood of patients who re...
