Study published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases (AJKD) shows that kidney allograft outcomes one year post-transplantation in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-negative recipients do not differ by the HCV status of the donor.

Transplant centers are increasingly willing to transplant kidneys from hepatitis C (HCV)-infected donors to HCV-negative recipients. Data on the long-term outcomes following these recipients are sparse. The aim of this single-center, retrospective study was to compare 1-year kidney outcomes in HCV-negative transplant recipients who received an organ either from a donor with or without HCV infection. The 1-year post-transplant kidney outcomes (including allograft function, development of de novo donor specific antibodies, findings on for-cause and surveillance protocol graft biopsies) were similar in these two groups of recipients.
