Outcomes of Kidneys Transplanted From Hepatitis C Viremic Donors to Naive Recipients From an Appalachian Rural Kidney Transplant Program.

Before the advent of direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus, a large proportion of kidneys from donors with hepatitis C viremia were discarded. Hepatitis C virus is now amenable to effective treatment with excellent seronegativity rates. In this study, we review the outcomes of hepatitis C viremic kidneys transplanted into hepatitis C-naive recipients.
