Precore and contiguous regions of hepatitis B virus in liver transplantation for end-stage hepatitis B.

Gastroenterology - 1 Dec 1994

Laskus T, Rakela J, Steers J L, Wiesner R H, Persing D H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Recurrent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for HBV-related liver disease, but the extent of viral genetic variation in this setting remains unknown. METHODS: Eight patients who underwent OLT for HBV-related liver disease were studied; 7 had cirrhosis and 1 had fulminant hepatitis. Four patients received...
