A significant proportion of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection develop cirrhosis and complications of end-stage liver disease over two to three decades and require liver transplantation. However, reinfection is common and leads to further adverse events under immunosuppression. Pretransplant antiviral or pre-emptive therapy is limited to mildly decompensated patients due to poor tolerance. The main stay of management represents directed antiviral therapy after evidence of recurrence of HCV in the transplanted patient.
