Prompt immunosuppression reduction reduces early graft failure rates due to BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN), however modulation of immunosuppression can lead to acute rejection. Medium-to-long term graft outcomes are negatively impacted by BKPyVAN, likely due to a combination of virus-induced graft damage and host immune responses against graft alloantigens potentiated by immunosuppression reduction. Kidney biopsy remains the gold-standard diagnostic test, however false negative findings are common due to the focal nature of BKPyVAN. BKPyV DNAemia, as measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), is established as a screening test but there is at present no (inter)national standardisation of these assays to allow collation and comparison of data between centres. Randomised controlled trials are lacking both in terms of optimal immunosuppression reduction strategies, and for the medications variably used to attempt treatment in clinical practice. Much of the fundamental biology of BKPyV is not yet understood, and further elucidation is required to promote rational direct-acting antiviral drug design. Insights into the role of adaptive immunity in control of BKPyV have informed the design of novel treatments such as adoptive immunotherapies and neutralizing antibodies which require evaluation in clinical studies.

In this special report, the European Renal Osteodystrophy (EUROD) initiative introduces the concept of a kidney-bone multidisciplinary team (MDT) for the diagnosis and clinical management of challenging cases of CKD-associated osteoporosis. In 2021, the EUROD initiative launched virtual clinical-pathological case conferences to discuss challenging cases of patients with CKD-associated osteoporosis, in whom a bone biopsy was useful in the diagnostic workup. Out of these, we selected four representative cases and asked a kidney-bone MDT consisting of a nephrologist, an endocrinologist and a rheumatologist to provide comments on the diagnostic and therapeutic choices. These cases covered a broad spectrum of CKD-associated osteoporosis, including bone fracture in CKD G5D, post-transplant bone disease, disturbed bone mineralization, severely suppressed bone turnover and severe hyperparathyroidism. Comments from the MDT were, in most cases, complementary to each other and additive to the presented approach in the cases. The MDT approach may thus set the stage for improved diagnostics and tailored therapies in the field of CKD-associated osteoporosis.

It also explores alternative approaches, such as low-dose and glucocorticoid-free regimens, which show promise but require further study.
