Hepatitis B in Organ Transplantation-Current Evidence and Clinical Gaps.

Article No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This review covers hepatitis B in people who get organ transplants, including kidney transplants. Antiviral pills have turned outcomes from poor to very good, and vaccination has cut new infections. The authors point out where guidance is still unclear, such as using organs from donors who once had the virus. It is a summary of what is already known, not a new study, so there are no new results.
