Several genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been recently identified by phylogenetic analysis, but their clinical relevance in the liver transplant setting is unknown. We evaluated the incidence and course of recurrent hepatitis C after transplantation in 50 patients who underwent transplantat

with treatment failures moving on to combination therapy (IFN/CMB). The primary difference between the two best strategies (IFN/CBM vs. CMB-G) was that the CMB-G strategy was more successful with those with genotype 1. Thus, the genotyping strategy reached more people with less responsive disease th
Chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common reason for liver transplantation. We examined the results of laboratory tests for HCV on a cohort of patients who received a liver transplant between 1990 and 1994 at three large centers. Seven hundred twenty-two recipients and 60
Improved understanding of hepatitis C virus (HCV) dynamics during and after liver transplantation can be useful in optimizing antiviral therapy in transplant recipients. We analyzed serum HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels during and after cadaveric liver transplantation in 6 HCV patients. After remo
New-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) is seen in 10-30% of renal and 9-21% of liver transplant recipients.

We compared tissue hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA polymerase chain reaction quantification and HCV immunohistochemistry (IHC) to histology in biopsy tissues in order to differentiate between acute rejection and HCV hepatitis recurrence early after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We analyzed the
