Detection of polyomavirus bk reactivation after renal transplantation using an intensive decoy cell surveillance program is cost-effective

BACKGROUND.: Reactivation of polyomavirus BK (BKV) after renal transplantation can lead to allograft dysfunction or loss with early detection improving outcomes. Current guidelines recommend quantitative polymerase chain reaction for surveillance; however, urinary decoy cell detection is a potential...
