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.
