简要总结
BK virus infection is one of the causes of renal allograft loss in the current era. Reduction of immunsuppression is the only intervention that prooved to be effective in treating of BK virus in kidney transplant recipient. However, there are evidences from retrospective and prospective studies showed that leflunomide and mTOR inhibitor such as everolimus or sirolimus have positive outcomes in treatment of BK virus in kidney tranplant recipient. The investigators conduct the RCT to compare the efficacy of leflunomide and mTOR inhibitor everolimus, in treatment of BK virus infected patients who do not respond to immunosuppression reduction.

研究组 & 干预措施
reduced-dose tacrolimus and Leflunomide
Patient will receive tacrolimus with target concentration of 3-6 ng/mL with leflunomide 100 mg/day loading dose for 5 days, followed by 40 mg/day thereafter. Duration for this regimen would be at least 3 months.
干预措施: reduced dose tacrolimus and Leflunomide (Drug)
mTORi with reduced-dose tacrolimus
Patient will received everolimus with target trough concentration of 3-6 ng/mL and tacrolimus with target trough concentration of 2-4 ng/mL. Duration for this regimen would be at least 3 months.
干预措施: Everolimus (Drug)
