Note
1. All Indeterminate results should be retested
2. The detection limit of the assay is 50 copies/ml
3. Contaminated samples may be falsely positive
4. This is an in house developed assay
5. This test should not be used to screen healthy patients. It is to be used for patients with clinical history
or risk factors for BKV disease
6. Test conducted on Urine / Plasma
Comment
BK Virus (BKV) is an important cause of Interstitial nephritis and associated Nephropathy in recipients of
kidney transplants. Upto 5% of renal allograft recipients can be affected by BKV about 40 weeks post
transplantation. Presence of BKV DNA in plasma reflects the dynamics of the disease - conversion of
plasma from negative to positive for BKV DNA post transplantation , persistence of Nephropathy and
reduction in BKV DNA levels after initiating Immunosuppressive therapy. BKV DNA is detectable in urine prior
to plasma and hence serves as an indication of impending BKV nephropathy. Viral Loads >100,000 copies /
mL in urine also indicate a risk for BKV Nephropathy.
Uses
· As a prospective and diagnostic marker for the development of BKV Nephropathy in
