BK polyomavirus nephropathy (BKPyVN), induced by BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), is a predominant cause of renal allograft failure. An absence of effective anti-BKPyV medications necessitates a reduction in immunosuppressive therapy as a primary strategy for bolstering host antiviral defense. However, it boosts the risk of allograft rejection. For improving the clinical diagnosis and treatment of BKPyV-associated diseases, domestic experts of transplantation, pathology, virology, immunology and diagnostics were convened for formulating detailed evidence-based recommendations for 21 clinical issues encompassing viral biology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostics, prevention, treatment, follow-ups and outcomes of BKPyV infection. Based upon the principles of the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (Edition 2009), the guidelines were intended to improve the clinical outcomes of BKPyV-related diseases for kidney transplant recipients in China.
