Polyoma virus-induced hemorrhagic cystitis in renal transplantation patient with polyoma virus nephropathy

Urology. 2006 Feb;67(2):423.e11-423.e12. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2005.08.042.

Abstract

We report a biopsy proven case of hemorrhagic cystitis in a cadaveric renal transplant patient with hematuria. Because more and more polyoma virus infection is being diagnosed in kidney transplant recipients, clinicians should be aware that gross hematuria in a recent transplant recipient may represent polyoma virus-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.
