Published literature on predictors of polyomavirus (BKV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplant and their impact on allograft outcomes remain sparse. We hypothesize that BKV and CMV viremia infections decrease allograft survival in SPK. Identifying modifiable predictors of BKV and CMV may help tailor immunosuppression and improve allograft survival.
