Abstract
Urine cytology is a reliable test for the detection of Decoy cells but is not diagnostic. Irrespective of the screening method used, detection of Decoy cells may be an indirect and sensitive method for estimating the existence of BK viral replication, although urinary polymerase chain reaction and kidney biopsy have greater specificity in the diagnosis of BK virus nephritis.
