Between a Virus and a Hard Place: Managing BK Virus Nephropathy, Cytomegalovirus Infection, and Rejection After Kidney Transplantation (KIDNEY WEEK 2026) - Oct 2, 2026 - Abstract #SA-PO1138; Pres time: Oct 24, 2026; 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM; Location: Exhibit Hall A, Convention Center; "Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was stopped and she was initiated on Cresemba with clinical and renal improvement. She restarted MMF when her BKV titers decreased and continued Tacrolimus and prednisone...Soon after the treatment of rejection, she developed CMV rhinosinusitis necessitating treatment with Valcyte...The management of borderline rejection with recurrent infections represents a particular challenge. The decision to treat with short, high-dose oral steroid pulse rather than traditional methylprednisolone or lymphocyte-depleting agents reflects an individualized approach balancing rejection treatment against infection risk."
