TL;DR: Initial studies have failed to show a significant increase in mortality among HCV-infected hemodialysis or renal transplant patients within the first 5 years following transplantation, but recent studies with extended follow-up of renal transplant recipients suggest that hepatitis C infection may affect patient and graft survival during the second decade.

TL;DR: Investigation of the prevalence and clinical impact of occult HBV infection in hemodialysis patients with chronic HCV infection, and the frequency of YMDD variants (tyrosine-methionine-aspartate- aspartate amino acid motif of HBV polymerase) in this setting found YMDd variants are common in this set.

Diagnostic Discordance for Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Hemodialysis Patients
TL;DR: Maintenance hemodialysis patients infected with HCV according to TMA have clinical features suggestive of malnutrition-inflammation-cachexia syndrome, mirroring observations in other populations with serious progressive conditions, such as human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Comorbidities associated with the increasing burden of hepatitis C infection.
TL;DR: This data indicates that Hepatitis C virus infection is implicated in an increasing number of liver transplantations, hospitalizations and healthcare costs and may need to be investigated further to establish a causative mechanism.

Prevalence and risk factors of hepatitis B and C viruses among haemodialysis patients in Gaza strip, Palestine
TL;DR: The much higher prevalence of Hepatitis viruses among HD patients compared to the normal population of Gaza strip indicates a causative relation between HD and hepatitis viruses transmission, and extremely careful observation of preventive infection control measures is essential to limit hepatitis viruses' transmission.

TL;DR: It has been established that a given HCV strain has little chance of inducing immunity to a different HCV strains, and the use of HCV+ kidneys no longer meets consensus.

17 Hepatitis C and renal disease
Steven Zacks,Michael W. Fried +1 more
TL;DR: Initial studies have failed to show a significant increase in mortality among HCV-infected hemodialysis or renal transplant patients within the first 5 years following transplantation, and the impact of hepatitis C infection on morbidity and mortality of patients with end-stage renal disease remains poorly defined.
