Polyomavirus (PV) infection in kidney transplant patients has been reported to cause interstitial nephritis and subsequent graft loss. The cornerstone of current therapy is a reduction in immunosuppression, which can subsequently lead to kidney allograft rejection. This dilemma becomes even more challenging in the setting of simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation, because a reduction in immunosuppression may result in rejection of the pancreas allograft. Antiviral therapy has not been shown to be clinically successful in decreasing the risk of graft loss secondary to PV infection. Furthermore, because of limited experience, the decision to perform retransplantation in patients who lost their primary kidney grafts to PV interstitial nephritis becomes a difficult one.
