Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is common in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) awaiting renal transplantation (RT). However, few data are available on the liver histology and viral titer in these patients relative to patients with HCV and normal renal function. The aims of this study were to assess liver histology, quantitative HCV-RNA titer, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in patients with ESRD awaiting RT, and to identify clinical predictors of histological progression to advanced bridging fibrosis and/or cirrhosis.
