Fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis in renal transplant recipient with CMV infection: a case report.
Fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis (FCH) is an uncommon complication of renal transplantation. It is usually associated with hepatitis B and C viral infection. It is further rare in renal transplantation in absence of HBV and HCV infection. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of FCH in renal transplantation, which were both HBV and HCV negative, have been reported to date. Out of these, two cases were diagnosed to have CMV infection and the third was attributed to azathioprin. We are presenting another case of FCH in a renal transplant recipient with CMV infection.
