Patient number, age of recipient (R) and donor (D), recipient gender, indication of transplantation, model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score before transplantation, HCV genotype, viral load (before [BT] and day 7 [D7] and month 1 [M1] after transplantation), and immunosuppressive (IS) treatment are shown.
