Profilaxis y tratamiento de la hepatopatía por virus C en el entorno del trasplante hepático. Revisión narrativa

Currently, the hepatitis C treatment in the liver transplantation setting is based on the use of peginterferon associated with ribavirin as pre-transplant treatment in selected patients or as treatment of recurrent post-transplant hepatitis C, achieving sustained virological responses of around 20% and 35% respectively. The main limitation of these treatments is the high frequency of the adverse effects and interruptions to treatment, meaning it is important to carry out strict follow-up of the treatment safety.
