Description of an acute HCV infection in a living liver donor. We cannot exclude a potential acquisition during the postoperative course, although we believe the infection could have been acquired prior to surgery in the window period between initial evaluation and surgical procedures. Therefore, we suggest that every potential donor be tested for anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA at the time of evaluation and immediately before donation. If HCV infection is detected, donation must be cancelled.

Therefore, we suggest that every potential donor be tested for anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA at the time of evaluation and immediately before donation.
