Successful treatment of a reinfected liver graft because of receipt of a HCV-positive kidney

Transplantation of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive organs has undergone a paradigm shift because of the advent of direct-acting antivirals. We present the case of a 57-year-old man successfully treated initially with pegylated interferon and ribavirin after HCV recurrence postliver transplantation. He subsequently developed end-stage renal disease and received a genotype 1a HCV-positive kidney transplant. A 12-week course of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir and low-dose ribavirin was initiated and sustained virologic response was achieved. This constitutes the first reported case of a patient successfully treated for HCV a second time after receiving an HCV-positive organ. | Successful treatment of a reinfected liver graft because of receipt of a HCV-positive kidney
