In HCV cirrhotic patients after liver transplantation, survival and recurrence of HCV appears
to be worsening in recent years. Donor age has been suggested as a cause. However, it is …

Recurrent hepatitis occurs in the majority of patients undergoing liver transplantation for
hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis, with progression to cirrhosis in up to 30% after 5 years …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Factors influencing the long-term histological outcome of liver graft
are not known. We conducted a prospective study based on a 10-year liver biopsy in order …

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: Recurrent HCV-cirrhosis occurs in a substantial proportion of
transplant recipients, with higher rates reported in patients who had recently received a …

In recent years, a worsening outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐positive recipients and a
faster progression of recurrent disease to overt cirrhosis has been reported. Our aims were …

Key Points 1. The natural history of hepatitis C after liver transplantation is variable. Several
factors, including those related to the virus, the host, the environment and the donor, are …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: HCV-related disease recurrence progresses rapidly after liver
transplantation. We hypothesised that withdrawal of immunosuppression might favourably …

Background. The effect of the type of immunosuppression on the course of posttransplant
hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

Background. In hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive liver transplant recipients, infection of the
allograft and recurrent liver disease are important problems. Increased donor age has …

BACKGROUND: Chronic liver failure due to HCV-related cirrhosis is the leading indication
for liver transplantation in Western countries. Inferior long-term results have been reported …
