HCV-related fibrosis progression following liver transplantation: increase in recent years
Marina Berenguer,Linda D. Ferrell,Jessica J. Watson,Martín Prieto,Michael Kim,Miguel Rayón,Juan Córdoba,Antonio Herola,Nancy L. Ascher,José Mir,Joaquín Berenguer,Teresa L. Wright +11 more
TL;DR: HCV-related disease progression is accelerated in immunocompromised compared to immunOCompetent patients, with a progressive increase in patients who have recently undergone liver transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrent and acquired hepatitis C viral infection in liver transplant recipients.

Roberts,John P. Roberts,Nancy L. Ascher,Nancy L. Ascher,Nancy L. Ascher,Harry B. Greenberg,Harry B. Greenberg,Harry B. Greenberg +32 more
TL;DR: Although HCV infection recurs posttransplant in almost all infected patients, acquisition of theHCV infection with transplant is common, and although many patients with postTransplant viremia have little evidence of histologic hepatitis, significant hepatic damage may occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitation of hepatitis C virus RNA in liver transplant recipients
Oliver Chazouilleres,Michael Kim,Connie Combs,Linda D. Ferrell,Peter Bacchetti,John P. Roberts,Nancy L. Ascher,Paul Neuwald,Judith C. Wilber,Mickey S. Urdea,Stella Quan,Ray Sanchez-Pescador,Teresa L. Wright +12 more
TL;DR: The frequent finding of viremia in the absence of histological hepatitis suggests that a "carrier state" is common and suggests that in immunosuppressed patients, HCV infection may be tolerated without direct hepatic damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of hepatitis C virus quasispecies in patients with severe cholestatic hepatitis after liver transplantation.
Mario G. Pessoa,Natalie Bzowej,Marina Berenguer,Yume Phung,Michael Kim,Linda D. Ferrell,Howayda M. Hassoba,Teresa L. Wright +7 more
TL;DR: Changes in quasispecies complexity and/or divergence are compared in hepatitis C‐infected immunosuppressed transplant recipients and in immunocompetent controls, and in those with the most severe form of posttransplantation recurrence, to suggest that in the absence of immune suppression, there is minor evolution of quasipecies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cirrhosis of undefined pathogenesis: absence of evidence for unknown viruses or autoimmune processes.
Martina Greeve,Linda D. Ferrell,Michael Kim,Connie Combs,John P. Roberts,Nancy L. Ascher,Teresa L. Wright +6 more
TL;DR: Although the presence of antibodies to soluble liver antigens implies an immune component to the pathogenesis of this disease, low autoimmune score and infrequent presence of other autoantibodies suggest that cryptogenic cirrhosis is distinct from classical autoimmune liver disease.
