Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in hemodialysis patients.Methods:One hundred and fifty hemodialysis patients were tested for HCV-RNA using a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay and for anti-HCV IgG using an enzyme-linked mmunosorbent assay (ELISA).Result:The positive rate of anti-HCV IgG was 24%.The positive rate of HCV-RNA was 26.7%;the total positive rate of HCV markers was 35.3%.Conclusion:HCV infection rate in hemodialysis patients is higher than that of general population.The first-class risk factors for HCV infection is transfusion of blood,while the cross using of dialyzer and dialysis pipe-line is also one of the risk factors.
