Liver disease can negatively affect clinical outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease and patients who have undergone renal transplantation. Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections are the most common form of liver disease in such patients. In this article, Fabrizi and colleagues discuss the natural history, clinical course, diagnosis and management of liver disorders associated with hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infection in patients with chronic kidney disease and in renal transplant recipients, and also briefly describe other causes of liver disease in such patients.
