H epatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem. The importance of HCV infection lies in its propensity to cause insidious and progressive liver damage, including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The clinical and financial impact of HCV infection on this nati
Clinical outcomes of recurrent hepatitis C virus after liver transplantation are difficult to predict. We evaluated collagen proportionate area (CPA), a quantitative histological index, at 1 year with respect to the first episode of clinical decompensation. Patients with biopsies at 1 year after liv
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of donor graft steatosis on overall outcome, viral recurrence, and fibrosis progression in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis. One hundred twenty patients who underwent OLT for HCV cirrhosis between 1995 a
Less potent immunosuppression is considered to reduce the severity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) recurrence after liver transplantation. An optimal regimen is unknown. We evaluated tacrolimus monotherapy versus triple therapy in a randomized trial of 103 first transplants for HCV cirrhosis. One hundred
We read with interest the article by Manousou and colleagues, 1 investigating the impact of tacrolimus monotherapy (MT) versus triple therapy (TT) on recurrent hepatitis C infection after liver transplantation. This study examined hepatic fibrosis progression in patients randomized to tacrolimus MT
