  • Title: Hepatitis C virus in hemodialysis patients.
    Author: Dentico P, Volpe A, Buongiorno R, Carlone A, Carbone M, Manno M.
    Journal: Nephron; 1992; 61(3):307-8. PubMed ID: 1323776.
    Abstract:
    Anti-HCV prevalence in 284 hemodialysis patients was assessed using the Abbott HCV-EIA test. Anti-HCV positivity was found in 19.4% of patients, was higher in males than in females and progressively increased with age. A correlation between time of dialysis treatment, transfusions and ALT course was found. These data suggest that HCV infection is a very important risk in dialysis units.
