Doctors use to not use a Hepatitis organ or only give it to a patient with Hepatitis. Now doctors can give someone a kidney with Hepatitis C and then give treatment for it.

Medstar Georgetown Transplant Institute is at the forefront of medicine and now these livers are being used everywhere which shortens the waiting time, adding to the amount available. A group of Hepatitis B & C patients, while waiting for their transplant can stabilize or improve with treatment.
