Transplantation with hepatitis C nucleic acid test-positive kidneys in HCV-negative recipients followed by direct-acting antiviral therapy demonstrated improved patient outcomes and significant cost-savings, according to results of a recent modelling study.
“The findings indicate that it is cost-saving to consider the use of HCV NAT-positive kidneys for waitlist candidates in whom the waiting time for transplantation would be shortened by 2 years in the context of a clinical study,” Matthew Kadatz, MS, from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and colleagues wrote.
