Transplantation of kidneys from donors with hepatitis C antibody into recipients with pre-transplantation anti-HCV.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted by organ transplantation. Consequently, several organ procurement organizations have imposed a moratorium on use of organs from anti-HCV positive donors. Because of the inadequate supply of cadaver kidneys for transplantation, we adopted a policy to transplant kidneys from anti-HCV donors into anti-HCV positive recipients. During the period between March 1...

متن کاملTransplanting Kidney Allografts from Hepatitis C Infected Donors into Hepatitis C Uninfected Recipients: Re-Thinking the Thinker Trial.
In the not so distant past, organs from hepatitis C infected donors were either discarded or rarely transplanted into HCV viremic recipients - but never allocated to non-infected patients. However, the simplicity, ease and unprecedented success rates of HCV direct acting antiviral regimens has raised the possibility of utilizing such organs in an attempt to expand the donor pool. The thinker tr...
متن کاملLiver transplantation in hepatitis B core-negative recipients using livers from hepatitis B core-positive donors: a 13-year experience.
The use of livers from hepatitis B surface antigen-negative (HBsAg- )/hepatitis B core antibody-positive (HBcAb+ ) donors in liver transplantation (LT) for HBsAg(-) /HBcAb- recipients is still controversial because of a lack of standard antiviral prophylaxis and long-term follow-up. We present our 13-year experience with the use of HBcAb+ donor livers in HBcAb- recipients. Patients received pro...
متن کاملLong term follow-up and outcome of liver transplantation from hepatitis B surface antigen positive donors
One possibility to increase the organ pool is to use grafts from hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive donors, but few data are currently available in this setting. Herein, we reviewed the outcome of 92 liver transplantations using allografts from HBsAg-positive donors in the United States (1990-2009). They had experienced HBV-related (n = 68) or HBV-unrelated disease (n = 24...
