Abstract
We report a burdensome case of transplantation of a HCV-viremic liver graft into a HCV-viremic recipient with minor AB0 mismatch.
Highlights
We performed a liver transplant (LT) with a graft from a 52-year-old donor of blood group O who was hepatitis C virus (HCV) viremic
Intrahepatic lymphocytes are not removed from the liver tissue by pre-LT perfusion, and engraftment of lymphocytes is facilitated by a higher lymphoid tissue relative mass within the graft
The liver of our HCV-positive donor was rich in lymphoid follicles, one of the most characteristic features of chronic hepatitis C
Summary
Abstract Background: We performed a liver transplant (LT) with a graft from a 52-year-old donor of blood group O who was HCV viremic. Methods: A liver biopsy performed on post-LT day 9 revealed acute T-cell-mediated rejection and the patient received three 1.0-g boluses of methylprednisolone.
