Kidney Transplant For HCV Patient, Kindly Suggest
Hi, Is it OK to do kidney transplant , if infected with HCV
Wed, 23 Nov 2011
Yes, it is ok. One needs to treat HCV before the Transplant. Let me know things as of Nov 2011. Can discuss further.

The donor should not have the HCV infection as it can lead to Hepatitis C infection to the recipient. So transplant wont be accepted from an infective donor.
