Abstract:
Objective To investigate the treatment of recipients carrying hepatic virus after renal transplantation. Methods Of the 14 patients, 8 carried HBV and 4 HCV, and the other 2 both HBV and HCV. HBV DNA or RNA was negative before transplantation.Results During the follow-up period of 3 to 20 months, 10 patients had liver dysfunction with higher ALT and AST, but negative for HBV DNA and/or HCV RNA. After adjusting the dosage of immunosuppressants and treatment of liver protection, liver function of these patients all restored to normal level.Conclusion In the hepatic virus carriers receiving renal transplantation, liver dysfunction caused by drug-induced liver damage or hepatic viral injury should be distinguished and corresponding treatment should be given in time.
