Abstract
There is minimal literature describing the clinical workup of patients with persistent BKPyV-DNAemia despite aggressive immunosuppressive reduction. We present a case herein of persistent BKPyV-DNAemia with significant discordance of BK viruria level in a kidney transplant recipient found to have bladder carcinoma. Based on our findings, we recommend evaluating the urine of patients with persistent BKPyV-DNAemia for BK viruria. If there is significant discordance in the level of BKPyV-DNAemia and viruria, cystoscopy should be pursued to rule out bladder or uroepithelial malignancies.
