    I had BK virus 10 years ago. My BK numbers are extremely high. The only way that my nephrologist could do was to low the dose of my immunosuppressants or cut one of my immunosuppressant med. It took months for BK virus to go away. The best thing I could do was to drink enough water, exercise, eat healthy diets, have good sleep. It’s just like flu virus. If we have weak immune systems, if we were tired, and stressed, the virus would attack our bodies.


    Take care.
