“…These data expand the findings of recent studies (29,30). The relationship between class II antibodies and TG has been well established (10,(31)(32)(33), although the pathology of TG can be due to other etiologies (10,34,35). Finally, these results suggest that there is a link between persistent post-AR allograft inflammation/TG and alloimmune graft loss as this risk is increased only in those patients with these allograft pathologies.…”

“…Increased incidences of acute rejection episodes after renal transplantation in patients with HCVϩ have been reported by some authors. 9,17 The rejection rate among our patients seemed to be higher for HBVϩ plus HCVϩ patients; however, there were no significant differences. Chronic allograft dysfunction was the most common cause of graft failure among HBVϩ, HCVϩ, and negative patients.…”

Objective. The impacts of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections on patient and renal graft survivals are controversial. This study sought to evaluate the effects of pretransplantation HCV and HBV infections on renal transplant patients and their grafts at our center. Patients and Methods. We retrospectively examined 1224 renal transplantations performed between 1992 and 2006, including 28 HBsAg positive; 64, anti-HCV; 9, anti-HCV plus HBsAg positive; and 1123, negative for anti-HCV and HBsAg. The mean posttransplantation follow-up was 5.6 Ϯ 4.1 years.Results. The prevalences of HBV infection were 6.2% in 1994 and 2.3% in 2006 and those of HCV infection were 6.8% in 1998 and 5.2% in 2006. The rejection rate was higher among HBVϩ (46.4%) and HCVϩ (40.6%) groups than the negative groups (31.5%), but it was not significant. There were no significant differences in patient and graft survivals among the groups. The major cause of patient death was liver failure among patients with concomitant HBVϩ and HCVϩ infections and cardiovascular disease among HCVϩ and negative patients. Conclusions. There has been a decrease in the prevalence of recipients with hepatitis virus infections over the last 15 years. Patient and graft survivals were not affected by HCV or HBV infection.
