Hello Everyone,
3 1/2 months post kidney transplant.I met my nephro today, he told me,they identified BK Virus, which is small complication. He reduced my immuno meds. Anybody got into this situation?
Thanks

Hi,
Had my TX in July 2017. I battled the BK Virus from Sept. of last year. The highest it has been is 28,000 copies per mL. It took approx 6 months for it to register below 500 copies per mL. That is the cutoff on the what the test can identify. They reduced my immuno meds as well, I know it is frustrating but as long as the BK level shows consistent reductions, you will be fine. It just takes time - something I'm becoming very accustomed to in this process. Congratulations on your trannsplant!
