Hi @l0lag0lag0b3 😊
Great to hear from you, thank you! My BK viral load improved last week so I am excited and hopeful that it's now going the right direction. That said, my BK virus is not resolved and won't be for a while.
I have been warned that BK takes months and sometimes up to a year to finally resolve and turn negative.
It's a long process because my impaired immune system needs to fight the virus.
Every two weeks, I will have my labs done to monitor my kidney function and track my BK viral load.
Hopefully, everything continues to go well and I will ultimately post a "negative" BK viral load. Then, we can truly celebrate!
BK virus is a concern for kidney transplant patients because it can cause rejection as well as some other not great outcomes.
I am only about 3 weeks into this BK journey, so I will definitely keep you posted as I learn more!
Thank you again @l0lag0lag0b3 for checking in.
