HBV reinfection is characterized by the appearance of HBsAg in serum. The HBV replication level is usually high, and large amounts of HBV particles are present in the graft. Historically, before the advent of antivirals, HBV reinfection had a major impact on graft and patient survival because almost all patients with HBV reinfection developed graft disease [3, 4]. This severe evolution was probably related to the high amount of HBsAg, HBeAg, and hepatitis B core antigen present in the nuclei and the cytoplasm of the hepatocytes, suggesting that liver injury is caused by a 28 B.
One out of 18 patients had a very low HBV DNA level of 217 copies/mL at 36 months post-LT. The pre-LT HBsAg level was significantly higher in those who had HBV recurrence/persistence compared with those who did not. Whether other antivirals such as TDV or a combination of antivirals without HBIG would provide effective prophylaxis is unknown. 2 Guidelines and Future Prospects for Prevention of HBV Reinfection The principles guiding strategies to prevent HBV recurrence should be to maximize antiviral potency while minimizing the risk of viral resistance, costs, side effects, and inconvenience for patients.
Therefore a learning curve is necessary to avoid worst results in LDLT recipients with HCV [48]. Given the expansion in the use of organs retrieved from cardiac death donors (DCD), there has been a significant interest in assessing whether HCV is more aggressive in that setting. While initial studies showed conflicting results, more recent data suggest that the severity of HCV disease over the first 3–5 years following LT is comparable to that seen following DDLT [49, 50]. In a recent meta-analysis the authors evaluated the clinical outcomes of DCD vs.
