Paper abstract bibtex Antiviral therapy with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and pegylated IFN-alpha (PEG-IFN-alpha) for chronic hepatitis C (HCV)-infected kidney recipients remains controversial. IFN-alpha is not recommended in most cases because it induces severe acute graft rejection. However, IFN-alpha, as PEG-IFN-alpha, is associated with a more pronounced immune response, and is well tolerated in HCV-infected liver recipients without causing graft rejection. In combined liver-kidney transplant (LKT) recipients, IFN-alpha has been occasionally used and appears to be well tolerated. All LKT recipients with a functioning kidney and liver having a HCV replication and who needed IFN-alpha therapy have been included in the study. The occurrence of liver and/or renal acute rejection as well as the HCV replication has been collected. A total of 12 LKT patients treated with PEG-IFN-alpha plus ribavirin have been studied. No acute rejection was observed. Renal function remained stable during and after discontinuing treatment, without any graft dysfunction. Two patients had a partial viral response and four had a sustained viral response. All patients, whatever their viral response, had decreased liver-enzyme levels. Response to PEG-IFN-alpha therapy was correlated with steroid dose and transaminase level when PEG-IFN-alpha was started. These data suggest that the combination therapy of PEG-IFN-alpha plus ribavirin did not have a higher risk of acute kidney-graft rejection after liver-kidney transplantation.
