Hepatic Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Micronutrients in Hepatitis Virus C Liver Recipients With and Without Disease Recurrence

Recipients of HCV livers with recurrence are more oxidatively stressed at 6 and 12 months compared with those with no recurrence. Accounting for viral load and donor age, oxidative stress was independently associated with recurrence. More research is needed to confirm this association.
