Liver transplantation in HCV/HIV positive patients

Abstract: Since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral the rapy (HAART) in 1996 for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infected patients, the incidence of liver diseases secondary to coinfection with hepatitis C has increased. Although data on the outcome of liver transplantation in HIVinfected recipients is limited, the overall results to date seem to be comparable to that in nonHIVinfected recipients. Liver transplant centers are now accepting HIVinfected individuals as organ recipients. Posttransplantation H… Show more

“…In a metaanalysis, HBV co-infection was found to result in improved transplant outcomes, while HCV co-infection had no effect (Cooper et al, 2011;Narushima et al, 2004). The outcome of liver transplants in HIV patients is similar to that of those of HIV negative patients (Sugawara et al, 2011).…”

“…Many ART drugs, both PI and NNRTI, cause instability in the blood concentration of CNI through the cytochrome P3A4 (CYP3A4)‐related metabolism. Most PI cause the overconcentration of CNI by inhibiting CYP3A4, while most NNRTI cause decreased levels of CNI by stimulating CYP3A4 . As mentioned earlier, RAL is introduced as a key drug in LT in HIV positive patients, because the metabolism of this drug is not related to CYP450, so it does not affect the blood concentration of CNI.…”

“…Según estadísticas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, a diciembre de 2015, cerca de 40 millones de personas conviven con la infección (1). La mejoría en la sobrevida gracias a la terapia antirretroviral altamente efectiva (HAART, por sus siglas en inglés) ha llevado a que cada vez más pacientes con infección por VIH sean propensos a sufrir enfermedades crónicas, entre ellas, insuficiencia hepática avanzada con la necesidad de un trasplante de hígado para casos seleccionados, y que, actualmente, muestran una sobrevida similar a otras indicaciones de trasplante (2,3).…”

“…Antes de implementarse la HAART, la infección por VIH se consideraba una contraindicación absoluta para el trasplante hepático en la mayoría de los centros por los malos resultados que se obtenían, con sobrevidas de apenas el 45% al año y donde la principal causa de muerte era el sín-drome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA), asociado con infecciones oportunistas y neoplasias por la inmunosupresión que recibía el receptor del trasplante (3,4).…”
