Preliminary reports suggested that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has a more aggressive course following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) compared to cadaveric liver transplantation (CLT). The aim of this prospective study was to establish if HCV disease recurrence differs between LDLT a

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) recurs in nearly all patients after liver transplantation. This recurrence is associated with progressive fibrosis and graft loss. It remains unclear whether the natural course of HCV recurrence is altered in patients who undergo living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We
Recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common cause of graft loss for HCV-infected recipients of liver transplantation (LT). Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been associated with increased rates of fibrosis progression, but whether steatosis affects post-LT outcomes independently of DM is unclear.
