Résumé

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection from blood products for hemophilia has been a social problem in Japan, and liver transplantation (LT) for these patients has been a challenging procedure. However, with the advent of the direct-acting antiviral agent for HCV and change in the policy for prioritization of deceased donor LT, the results of LT for patients co-infected with HCV/HIV may have improved. This study was conducted to provide updated results of our nationwide survey of LT for patients co-infected with HCV/HIV, from January 1997 to December 2019. We collected data on 17 patients with HIV/HCV co-infection who underwent either deceased donor LT (n = 5) or living donor LT (n = 12). All the patients were men with hemophilia, and the median age was 41 (range, 23-61) years. The median CD4 count before LT was 258 (range, 63-751). Most patients had poor liver function before surgery with Child-Pugh grade C and a Model for End-stage Liver Disease score of 20 (range, 11-48). The right lobe was used for most grafts for living donor liver transplantation (n = 10). Overall survival was significantly better with a sustained viral response (SVR) than without an SVR, and a univariate analysis indicated that SVR after direct-acting antiviral or interferon/ribavirin showed the highest hazard ratio for patient survival after LT. A multivariate analysis was not possible because of the limited number of cases. SVR for HCV showed the highest impact on the outcome of LT for patients with hemophilia co-infected with HIV/HCV. SVR for HCV should be achieved before or after LT for patients with hemophilia co-infected with HIV/HCV for a better outcome.
