BK virus (BKV)

BK virus (BKV) is a human polyomavirus that remains latent in the urinary tract but can reactivate in immunocompromised individuals, particularly kidney and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Reactivation can lead to serious complications such as BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and graft loss. Sensitive and reliable detection is essential for early intervention and transplant monitoring.
BK virus PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a specific and sensitive method for detecting viral DNA in human samples together with other pathogens. These molecular diagnostics tools deliver accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked version for diagnostic use and research use only (RUO) format, these multiplex PCR assays support various applications, including transplant patient monitoring, nephropathy diagnostics, and virology research from clinical samples.
