Core Tip	The prevalence of polyomavirus BK (BKV) infection among non-renal solid organ transplant recipients has been insufficiently investigated. Our review suggests that BKV viruria and/or viremia in liver transplantation is less prevalent than what has been reported in kidney or heart transplants, except when renal dysfunction is present. In general, viruric and viremic liver transplant patients have higher levels of serum creatinine. Therefore, renal dysfunction in liver transplantation may be an additional factor causing immunologic dysfunction that could make patients more susceptible to BKV infection.
