Interventions

Group 1: Kidney Transplant Recipients (de-novo/retransplanted) N=300 In arm 1, we will examine changes in the human virome longitudinally and compare viral composition pre-transplant to 3/6/12/36 mont
Severe infections N=120-180 (40-60%)
Rejections (clinical acute rejection and subclinical rejection of any type including Borderline changes) N=15-120 (5-40%). Estimated cases within the representative cohort of N=300: occurrence of BK-
occurrence of BK Nepropathy 1-10% (N=3-30) Group 2: In arm 2, we will explore differences in polyomavirus genotypes regarding the development of BK nephropathy post-transplantation. If available, we f
