Abstract
BK-virus has been identified as the main cause of polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, a major cause of renal allograft failure. Hemorrhagic cystitis is a major complication of BK-virus infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The reports of polyomavirus-associated nephropathy after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are surprisingly very few. Here we describe two patients received an unrelated donor HSCT and developed a biopsy-proven BK nephropathy, which contributed to his renal failure.
