Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the prevalence and clinic relevance of hepatitis G virus(HGV)infection in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods Reverse-transcription(RT) nested polymerase chain reaction(PCR)was used to detect HGV in 50 HD patients. The prevalence of HGV infection, their relationship with risk factors, liver function and HBV, HCV infection were investigated. Results HGV RNA was found in 14 percent of the HD patients (7 of 50), as compared with none of health blood donors(0 of 20, P
