@nypara66 My husband's donor did not have Hep C. It turned out the other kidney recipient from the same donor, had latent Hep C, that was stirred up when he got his new kidney! So, the transplant team tested everyone to find where that hep c case came from.

Wow that is some story! Hopefully he could get the meds and cure it but we both know about the intense drug regimen after transplant and it takes the body’s a long while to adjust to the meds. after surgery. My husband just had his 7 year anniversary last week and is doing well. I’m very grateful!
