Abstract

In the article the analysis data of observation and treatment recurrence hepatits C after liver transplantation. When performing operations on the background of the current active infection relapse is inevitable, and progression is fast. The effectiveness of antiviral therapy for immunosuppression is low. End-of-treatment response was achieved in 55,5%. Sustained virologic response was achieved in 42.9%. In one-third cases treatment was discontinuation because of adverse events.
