“…HBV infection have been reported to account for a significant portion of patient mortality in RTRs because of complications such as chronic liver disease, liver cirrhosis, hepatoma and hepatic failure [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Fornairon et al [7] performed serial liver biopsies in 151 RTRs with positive HBsAg and showed that cirrhosis developed in Besides the host factors, virological factors have been associated with a higher risk of LC or HCC in chronic HBV patients.…”

“…Many studies have reported HBV disease progression after renal transplantation [2,4,[6][7][8][9]. Previous studies have demonstrated a significantly higher 10-year survival rate in non-infected RTRs than in HBsAg-positive patients [3].…”

“…In Asian‐Pacific countries, the carrier rate for HBV varies from 1–10%, and from 1–25% in kidney transplant recipients (35). There is a low incidence of HBV and HCV infection in the Iranian population (36). In the current study, only 1.4% of patients developed HBV infection, which was in line with the reports from Iran and other countries (18, 33, 36).…”

“…However, HCV-infected renal allograft recipients with abnormal liver function had inferior survival rates. Several other studies [131,132,133,134,135], with the exception of one [136], with shorter than 10-year follow-up periods reported no adverse impact of HCV infection on graft and/or patient survival. The promising results of the aforementioned studies suggest that for many patients, the benefits of renal transplantation outweigh its potential risks imposed by immunosuppression.…”
