Summary
Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease is the most common indication for liver transplantation (LT). However, LT does not cure the infection, and therapeutic strategies resulted in very limited efficacy and tolerability in LT recipients. In view of its postulated safety profile, Silibinin seems an ideal drug to be used in the setting of HCV recurrent patients after liver transplantation.
