Exploring Renal Transplants Using Hepatitis C Infected Donors for HCV-negative Recipients

In this study, individuals without hepatitis C infection who are on the kidney transplant waitlist will receive a kidney from a deceased donor with hepatitis C infection and will be treated for hepatitis C at the same time. Hepatitis C treatment will include Grazoprevir (GZR) 100 mg/Elbasvir (EBR) 50 mg administered on-call to the operating room for the renal transplant procedure and continued for 12 weeks post-renal transplant. The donor hepatitis C genotype will be tested. If the donor has genotype 1a without resistance or genotype 1b treatment will remain GZR/EBR for 12 weeks. If the donor has genotype 1a with resistance variants, then Ribavirin will be added and treatment will be given for 16 weeks starting from the date ribavirin was added. If the donor has hepatitis C genotype 2 or 3, Sofosbuvir will be added and treatment will be for 12 weeks from the date Sofosbuvir was added.
