Provider Attitudes toward the Use of Hepatitis C Virus-Positive Organs in Kidney Transplantation.

CONCLUSION: Although 92% of providers were willing to offer a HCV-positive kidney for transplant as patient waitlist time increases, less than half supported offering HCV-positive transplantation for routine care rather than for research. The results underscore the need for further education and data about the efficacy and safety of HCV-positive kidney transplantation. PMID: 31390615 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
