[DOI: 10.5812/kowsar.1735143X.770] Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Hepatitis E is a significant health concern in endemic area. During graft transplantation it can affect the recovery process and may increase chronicity. This study is recommended to the internal and infectious specialists, graft transplantation surgeons and virologists.

بررسی تأثیر عفونت هپاتیت ویروسی B و C بر بقای کلیه پیوندی در بیماران دریافتکننده کلیه
Background and Aim: Chronic liver disease and its complications are major problems in renal transplant recipients. Hepatitis B and C virus infections are currently the main causes of chronic liver disease in this group, and these may affect allograft outcome. Whether hepatitis B and C virus infections after renal transplantation adversely affect graft and patient survival, remains controver...
متن کاملHepatitis-B-virus-related fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis after renal transplantation with acute graft failure following interferon-alpha therapy.
Key words: fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis; graft failure; surface antigen, as well as anti-HBc and anti-HBe hepatitis B virus; interferon-a; renal transplantation antibodies. He was seronegative for HBeAg, anti-HCV antibody (ELISA 2) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Serum hepatitis B virus DNA determined by PCR was negative. His pretransplant liver function was normal.
متن کاملShorter waiting times for hepatitis C virus seropositive recipients of cadaveric renal allografts from hepatitis C virus seropositive donors.
INTRODUCTION The purposes of this study were: 1) to analyze the early results of cadaveric renal transplantation from either hepatitis C virus seropositive (HCV+ ) or hepatitis C virus seronegative (HCV-) donors into HCV + recipients; and 2) to determine whether HCV+ patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) might benefit from receiving renal allografts from HCV + donors. METHODS From Janu...
متن کاملHepatitis E virus: an underdiagnosed cause of chronic hepatitis in renal transplant recipients.
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection can evolve to chronic hepatitis in immunocompromised patients leading to rapidly progressive cirrhosis. Proper diagnosis is therefore important, as reducing immunosuppressive therapy can allow clearance of the virus. We report a case of chronic HEV infection in a renal transplant recipient that went undiagnosed for many years, discuss the therapeutic options, a...
متن کاملPrevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 infections in renal transplant recipients and their renal function
Background and Objectives: Viral infections are a major problem for transplant recipients. Reactivation of viruses is associated with the use of strong immunosuppressive drugs. Herpes simplex virus infections in renal transplant patients may become severe without treatment. Although the prevalence and role of herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 in bone marrow and lung recipients are well known; howe...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of Four Doses of Double-Strength Intramuscular Hepatitis B
Background: Hepatitis B virus potentially accelerates graft rejection and mortality in renal transplantation population. Vaccination of graft candidates without prior immunization against HBV seems essential before transplantation but some candidates of transplantation have not received HBV vaccine at the time of receiving graft. We aimed to evaluate immunogenicity of ...
