Abstract: Evolving BK polyomavirus–associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) is characterized by tubulointerstitial inflammation that closely resembles acute T‐cell–mediated allograft rejection if tubulitis is significant. The cellular composition of the inflammation varies during the course of BKPyVAN, and clusters… read more here.
