WCN23-0559 WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH: HEPATITIS C- VIRAEMIC DONOR TO A NAIVE RECIPIENT KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION: THE FIRST IN MALAYSIA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatitis C positive patients were traditionally not considered suitable donor candidates in Malaysia. This perception shifted with the introduction of direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA), which demonstrated excellent sustained virologic response (SVR) post treatment. Furthermore, it has been established that potential risk death on wait list outweighs viral transmission.

Hepatitis C and Kidney Transplantation
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is relatively common among patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients. HCV infection in hemodialysis patients is associated with an increased mortality due to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The severity of hepatitis C-related liver disease in kidney transplant candidates may predict patient and graf...
متن کاملLiver transplantation with hepatitis C virus-infected graft: interaction between donor and recipient viral strains.
Superinfection of different viral strains within a single host provides an opportunity for studying host-virus and virus-virus interactions, including viral interference and genetic recombination, which cannot be studied in infections with single viral strains. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive single-strand RNA virus that establishes persistent infection in as many as 85% of infected indiv...
متن کاملLiving-Donor Liver Transplantation and Hepatitis C
Hepatitis-C-virus- (HCV-) related end-stage cirrhosis is the primary indication for liver transplantation in many countries. Unfortunately, however, HCV is not eliminated by transplantation and graft reinfection is universal, resulting in fibrosis, cirrhosis, and finally graft decompression. In areas with low deceased-donor organ availability like Japan, living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT...
متن کاملEffect of kidney donor hepatitis C virus serostatus on renal transplant recipient and allograft outcomes
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is common in dialysis patients and renal transplant recipients and has been associated with diminished patient and allograft survival. HCV-positive (HCV+) kidneys have been used in HCV-positive (HCV+) recipients as a means of facilitating transplantation and expanding the organ donor pool; however, the effect of donor HCV serostatus in the modern era...
متن کاملImpact of Donor and Recipient Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of IL28B rs8099917 in Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Hepatitis C
Single nucleotide polymorphisms of interleukin-28B (IL28B) rs8099917 are reported to be associated with virologic clearance in interferon-and ribavirin -based treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients. We examined virologic response in accordance with IL28B polymorphisms in our living donor liver transplantation series under a preemptive interferon and RBV treatment approach. Adeq...
