BACKGROUND The use of HCV-positive livers for HCV-positive recipients is becoming more common. Our aim is to evaluate long-term outcomes in liver transplant recipients transplanted with HCV antibody-positive organs. METHODS From the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (1995-2013), we selected all adult liver transplant recipients with HCV, and cross-sectionally compared long-term gra...
