Background: Kidney transplantation from HCV-viremic donors into uninfected recipients is associated with excellent short-term outcomes. However, concerns regarding an increased risk for the development of de novo donor specific antibodies (DSA) and acute rejection have been raised in single center reports.
Methods: A retrospective study of HCV-negative kidney-only transplant recipients between 2018 and 2020.
