Post-Transplant Viral Monitoring - Polyomavirus BK and JC DNA PCR Test

This test uses Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to detect and measure the amount of DNA from human polyomaviruses: BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV) in urine, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid samples. These viruses are latent in most healthy adults but can cause serious diseases upon reactivation in patients with severe immunodeficiency.
