Özet

OBJECTIVE: Although BK virus nephropathy (BKVN) has mostly been reported to occur in transplanted kidneys, there has been a gradual increase in cases of BKVN in the native kidney. This study was directed towards investigating the incidence of BKVN in patients undergoing renal biopsy due to acute kidney injury (AKI) who were also immunosuppressed due to a condition other than organ transplantation.
