Mean Change From Baseline in Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): 12-month Treatment Phase
Zeitfenster: Baseline (2 month), 12 months posttransplant
GFR was assessed using a true measure of glomerular filtration via iothalamate clearance test. The month 2 time point was selected as the "baseline" time point with respect to measured GFR due to logistical difficulty in obtaining measured GFR at the time of liver transplant and post-transplant renal function largely stabilizing by 2 months. All Measured GFR > 200 were truncated at 200.
Baseline (2 month), 12 months posttransplant
Mean Change From Baseline in Calculated GFR, by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Equation: 12-month Treatment Phase
Zeitfenster: Baseline [BL] (pretransplant time point), 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months posttransplant
GFR is a measure of the rate at which blood is filtered by the kidney. MDRD is an equation (calculation) used to estimate GFR in participants with impaired renal function based on serum creatinine (ScR), age, race, gender, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and albumin (Alb). GFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2) = 170*(Scr)^-0.999*(Age)^-0.176*(0.762 if female)*(1.180 if African American)*(BUN)^-0.170*(Alb)^+0.318. ). BL= baseline, mL= milliliters; min= minute; m^2= meters squared.

Mean Change From Baseline in Calculated GFR During the LTE
Zeitfenster: Baseline (pretransplant time point), 1, 2, 3, 6,12, 18, 24, 30, 36 months posttransplant
GFR is a measure of the rate at which blood is filtered by the kidney. MDRD is an equation (calculation) used to estimate GFR in participants with impaired renal function based on serum creatinine (ScR), age, race, gender, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and albumin (Alb). GFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2) = 170*(Scr)^-0.999*(Age)^-0.176*(0.762 if female)*(1.180 if African American)*(BUN)^-0.170*(Alb)^+0.318. ). BL= baseline, mL= milliliters; min= minute; m^2= meters squared.

Mean Change From Baseline Serum Creatinine at Months 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12
Zeitfenster: Baseline (pretransplant time point), 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months posttransplant
Measurement of SCr is commonly used as an indicator of renal function. High creatinine blood level is an indicator of deficient filtering by the kidney. SCr was determined at baseline and various post-baseline time points.
Baseline (pretransplant time point), 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months posttransplant
Mean Change in Baseline Values of Cystatin C at 2 and 12 Months
Zeitfenster: Baseline (pretransplant), 2, and 12 months posttransplant
Cystatin C is a protein encoded by the CST3 gene, which is mainly used as a biomarker of kidney function. If kidney function and glomerular filtration rate decline, the blood levels of cystatin C rise.

Percentage of Participants (Who Were Hepatitis C Virus [HCV] Positive at Baseline) With HCV Recurrence (Assessed by Central Pathologist) by 12 Months
Zeitfenster: 6 and 12 months posttransplant
HCV Recurrence is defined as Histological confirmation on liver biopsy by the Ishak (modified Knodell) system and required both a score >= 5 out of 18 on modified Histological Activity Index grading and a fibrosis Score >= 2 out of 6 on modified staging. All biopsies, including Week 52 biopsies, were considered. Only the first HCV recurrence episode for each participant was counted. For 95% CI within each group, normal approximation was used if N>=5, otherwise exact method was used. For 95% CI of difference, normal approximation was used if N>=5 in both arms, otherwise exact method was used.
