- Authors
Sawinski, Deirdre; Rosenblatt, Russel E.; Morales, Jose Maria
- Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the optimal therapy for end-stage kidney disease but limited by the available number of organs. Using HCV+ donors, both in HCV+ and HCV-recipients, is a rational response to the organ shortage. We review the historic experience using HCV+ donors in HCV+ recipients and assess long-term results. We also discuss contemporary practices, including the transplantation of HCV-viremic kidneys into HCV-recipients with different approaches to posttransplant HCV therapy.
