Abstract Key Concepts: 1 Early recurrence of hepatitis C is universal. 2 Typical
histopathologic features of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and acute allograft rejection (AAR) exist.
3 Early recurrent HCV may be differentiated from AAR. 4 Liver biopsy plays a role in
diagnosing HCV and AAR. 5 Risk factors for recurrent HCV should be known. 6 The natural
history of recurrent HCV should be known. 7 The future role of ancillary studies beyond liver
biopsy is assessed. Liver Transpl 12: S32–S37, 2006.© 2006 AASLD.
