molecular characterization of bk and jc viruses circulating among potential kidney donors in kuwait.	bk and jc polyomaviruses can be associated with nephropathy following renal transplantation. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, load, and genotypes of bk and jc viruses circulated in potential kidney donors in kuwait. the detection of polyomavirus dna was carried out in serum and urine samples of 165 potential kidney donors. seventy (42%) individuals were tested positive for polyomavirus dna, of whom 20 (12%) had detectable polyomavirus dna in their serum samples, 40 (24%) in ...	2013	23936831
