Acute hepatitis C infection in a renal transplant recipient: primacy of the liver or kidney?

Mohammed Mahdi Althaf¹, Mohamed Said Abdelsalam², Mohamed Rashwan¹, Quaid Nadri¹.

Abstract

We present a case where a renal transplant recipient contracted chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection post-transplantation. The disease progressed and deteriorated leading to fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis that mandated treatment. Treatment with pegylated interferon α-2a and ribavirin was successful in salvaging the liver and eradicating the virus but as a consequence lead to treatment-resistant acute rejection and loss of the renal allograft. 2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
