Histopathologic assessment is considered essential for the differentiation of recurrent hepatitis C (RHC) from acute cellular rejection (ACR) after liver transplantation (LT); however, there is limited information regarding its reliability. The aim of this study was to determine the interobserver an

Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a successful treatment in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)associated end-stage liver disease worldwide. T lymphocytes and their cytokines are believed to have a pivotal role in the defense against HCV and in allograft rejection. An immunosuppressive dru
The natural history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection following liver transplantation and predictors of disease severity remain controversial. The aims of the study were to assess in a homogeneous population of 81 cyclosporinebased HCV-infected liver transplant recipients mostly infected with gen
