## Identification of the hepatitis C virus-the main cause of posttransfusion and sporadic non -A, non-B hepatitisand the development of a diagnostic serological test have allowed us to study possible recurrence of this type of hepatitis after liver transplantation. Six of 34 consecutive transplant
1. Early recurrence of hepatitis C is universal. 2. Typical histopathologic features of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and acute allograft rejection (AAR) exist. 3. Early recurrent HCV may be differentiated from AAR. 4. Liver biopsy plays a role in diagnosing HCV and AAR. 5. Risk factors for recurrent HCV
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
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
