Key Words Hepatitis B virus; Organ donor; Recipient allocation; Kidney transplant; Transmission; Long term outcomes
Core Tip Low-risk hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive kidney donor, defined by a negative test of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA being allocated to immune-recipients with anti-HBs at least 10 mIU/mL is a key factor in overcoming the risk of HBV transmission. The risk may be further eliminated with optimal nucleos(t)ide analog prophylaxis. Blood tests for HBV DNA, HBs Ag, and liver function tests should be routinely monitored after transplantation and when there is a change of immunosuppression. The excellent long-term outcomes being reported suggested that the outcomes of this treatment option are promising. This will lead to broader use of organs with positive HBsAg.
