Liver transplantation in chronic viral B and C hepatitis.
Liver transplantation is a valid treatment in chronic viral B and C hepatitis. But disease recurrence is very frequent in HBV hepatitis after the procedure, and its prevention and treatment are unresolved problems. Hepatitis C recurrence in the graft seems also to be common, and further studies of its pathobiology are needed.
