BK virus (BKV) infection is an established cause of allograft dysfunction in renal transplant recipients. The relationship between BKV infection and chronic kidney disease (CKD) post-orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is not well understood. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of BKV in

## Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is characterized by inflammatory liver damage and is associated with a high risk of development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although histological examination of liver biopsies is currently the gold standard for the detection of early live
Polymorphism in the interleukin-28B (IL28B) gene region, encoding interferon (IFN)-k3, is strongly predictive of response to antiviral treatment in the nontransplant setting. We sought to determine the prevalence and impact on clinical outcomes of donor and recipient IL28B genotypes among liver tran
Chronic graft dysfunction, manifesting with elevated liver enzymes and histological features of interface hepatitis (IH), is being increasingly recognized as a long-term problem after liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to characterize our group of post-orthotopic liver transplantation
Recurrent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation. Recently, antiviral therapy, such as lamivudine, has become available for prophylaxis against HBV reactivation posttransplantation and for the treatment of HBV recurrent disease.
