Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Recipient of HCV positive kidney graft
A single center, open-label, pilot study examining 20 adult HCV negative kidney transplant patients who receive an HCV infected graft. Target start date for antiviral therapy will be within 3 months after kidney transplantation, unless extenuating clinical circumstances arise (such as the development of fibrosing cholestatic HCV, which would prompt earlier treatment, or clinical events or comorbidities which would prompt delay in treatment).
A HCV negative or previously successfully treated recipient with a HCV positive kidney graft
