Core Tip |
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the reason for about 50% of liver transplants in the western world. Reinfection of the graft is universal and can compromise graft function and patient survival. The development of an efficient antiviral therapeutic strategy has been the focus of clinical research in recent years, including when, how much and at what point this treatment should be applied. The introduction of new drugs for the treatment of chronic HCV hepatitis may involve therapeutic changes and, perhaps, a better prognosis for these patients, particularly those with severe recurrence or factors predicting rapid progression of fibrosis. |
