Core Tip	Prior to its recognition as a separate entity, kidney transplant infection with the polyoma virus, BK virus (BKV), and the ensuing viral nephropathy (BKVN) portended a poor prognosis. But with the advent of heightened clinical suspicion and improved diagnostics the prognosis has improved considerably. Blood and urine polymerase chain reaction testing allows invasive investigation (i.e., transplant biopsy) to be selective and appropriate. Peripheral blood assays of anti-BKV cell mediated immunity offers potential for refining risk stratification. While conventional antiviral agents have failed to show utility to date, reduction of immunosuppression currently represents the most effective and proven treatment for BKVN.
