Risk of Hepatitis C Transmission After Liver Transplantation From Hepatitis C Nonviremic, Antibody-positive Donors Into Nonviremic Recipients in the Era of Mandated Testing
After the OPTN mandate of HCV testing post-LT starting March 2021, the rate of positive HCV NAT results was 1.5% in HCV NAT - recipients of liver allografts from HCV Ab + /NAT - donors. Improved compliance with the mandated testing can help in the early detection of HCV transmission among LT recipients in this cohort and may help prevent associated post-LT complications.
