There is a discrepancy between the patients requiring organ transplants and the donors available to meet that demand. Many patients die every year while on the waiting list, and there is a need to bridge this gap. For many years, medical practitioners have been apprehensive of using donor organs from donors who have tested positive for the Hepatitis C virus (HCV), and with good reason. HCV has been proven to be among the leading causes of liver diseases requiring liver transplants. Over the years, studies have been carried out to find a treatment for Hepatitis C. The advent of direct-acting antivirals revolutionized the medical world. These medication regimens have been proven to treat Hepatitis C in transplant patients effectively. This systematic review will examine how DAA treatments affect transplants of different organs from HCV-positive donors to HCV-negative recipients.
