Figure 1 Strategies to prevent recurrence of HCV infection in liver transplant recipients Horizontal lines indicate relative timing scales. HCV=hepatitis C virus. SVR=sustained virological response. *Treatment duration should take into account the expected time on the liver transplantation waiting list. †HCV always recurs in patients who have HCV RNA detectable in serum at the time of transplantation.

HCC=hepatocellular carcinoma. ESLD=end-stage liver disease. CP=Child-Pugh. LT=liver transplantation. MELD=Model for End-Stage Liver Disease. *Taking into account system of allocation, possible improvement, clinical and biological factors, and quality of life.
