Title: Can protocol liver biopsy be avoided to evaluate post-transplant hepatitis C recurrence? Transient elastography makes it possible
Abstract: Non-invasive evaluation of recurrent hepatitis C in liver transplanted patients is an unmet clinical need. While protocol liver biopsy (LB) is still the standard of care, it could be potentially avoided in patients with mild/stable hepatitis, by monitoring routine blood chemistries combined with transient elastography (TE) [1].
