BK virus-related thrombotic microangiopathy in a kidney transplant recipient

Early diagnosis and treatment of TMA can be lifesaving. In this report, we present our experiences of successful treatment of a renal transplant case of TMA due to BK virus, not a frequent cause of TMA. The clinical picture of TMA caused by endothelial damage through cytopathic effects of viral antigens was evaluated in the light of the relevant literature.
