Abstract

Efficacy and long-term outcome of antiviral therapy for recurrent hepatitis C after liver transplantation is poorly defined. This study aimed at assessing the efficacy of antiviral therapy regarding sustained hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance, liver histology, and patient survival. We retrospectively reviewed all 446 patients who received a liver allograft at our institution for HCV-related cirrhosis between January 1992 and December 2006. Two hundred thirty-two patients (52%) were eligible for antiviral therapy based on predefined criteria (Metavir stage > or =1 and/or grade > or =2; protocol biopsies). One hundred seventy-two patients (39%) had no contraindication for treatment, received more than or equal to 1 dose of interferon-alpha-based combination therapy, and form the basis of this analysis. Therapy was aimed for 48 weeks; median posttreatment follow-up was 68 months. The overall sustained virological response (SVR) rate was 50% (genotype 1/4: 40%; genotype 2/3: 76%). SVR was higher on cyclosporine A (CsA) (56%) than on tacrolimus (44%, P=0.05), largely because of a lower relapse rate (6% vs. 19%, P=0.01). In multivariate analysis, genotype 2/3, CsA use, donor age, and pretreatment necroinflammatory activity were indep...Continue Reading
