  • Title: [Monitoring the course of non-A, non-B viral hepatitis in patients with chronic renal insufficiency].
    Author: Chalupa P, Kolácný I, Horák Z, Jezek P.
    Journal: Vnitr Lek; 1990 May; 36(5):473-8. PubMed ID: 2115703.
    Abstract:
    A group of 35 patients with viral hepatitis non-A, non-B included in a chronic dialyzation programme was compared with a comparable group of 40 patients with viral hepatitis non-A, non-B. The mean period since the chronic dialyzation programme was started after the development of viral hepatitis non-A, non-B was 10 months. The mean period of hospitalization in the investigated group was 21 days and was practically identical (22 days) as in the control group. 45.7% of the patients in the chronic dialyzation programme were at the time when the diagnosis was established or in its course quite free from complaints. In 54.3% there were mild complaints. In the control group the number of patients with complaints was much higher (80%). In 82.9% patients included in the chronic dialyzation programme the viral non-A, non-B hepatitis was anicteric. In the control group an icteric course was recorded twice as frequently (37.5%). The authors compared also the means of maximal values of biochemical examinations. Attention was drawn to the fact that among patients in the chronic dialyzation programme there was not a single case of viral hepatitis A.
