Abstract | As a therapeutic method, kidney transplantation significantly improved the life quality and prognosis of patients with the end-stage renal disease. Since a key element in stable kidney transplantation is continuous therapy with immunosuppressive agents, an inhibited immune response makes patients vulnerable to opportunistic viral and bacterial infections. Polyomavirus (PyV), from the Polyomaviridae family, includes a well-known BK virus (BKPyV) and less publicized human polyomavirus 9 (HPyV9). Both these viruses may inflict significant damage to kidney transplants because of their high prevalence and pathogenesis. While a great body of knowledge was accumulated about the BKPyV-caused nephropathy, much less information is about the potential threat from the HPyV9-caused damage to kidney transplants. The current review provides a glimpse of general information about the PyV-associated nephropathy with a special focus on the role of the HPyV9 in pathogenesis of nephropathy in kidney transplants. |
