Abstract

Background& Objectives: HEPATITIS C virus is one of the recently discovered viruses that tend to cause chronic liver disease. HEPATITIS C is one of the most common types of viral hepatitis, cirrhosis and carcinoma of liver in HEMODIALYSIS patients. The most important Risk factors of HEPATITIS C in dialysis patients are blood transfusion, duration of dialysis and kidney transplantation .Today, nosocomial transmission of HEPATITIS C in dialysis centers is an important problem. This study was aimed to determine prevalence and risk factors of HEPATITIS C among dialysis patients in KERMANSHAH province.Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytic study was done by census sampling among all of the dialysis patients .Data collection was based upon a questionnaire and laboratory experiment. Diagnosis was made by detecting the anti HCV antibody using the third generation Elisa method. The collected data were analyzed by t and X2 tests.Results: The prevalence of HCV was 26.4%.There was significant correlation between the existence of HCV infection and duration of dialysis (P<0.001), blood transfusion (P<0.01), kidney Transplantation (P<0.001), history of surgery (P<0.005). There was no significant correlation between HCV infection and age, sex, history of hepatitis B Vaccination, dentistry procedure, tattooing, and phlebotomy.Discussion: The prevalence of HEPATITIS C was the same as in other studies abroad but in comparison with community prevalence role of HEMODIALYSIS is significant; the study showed that HEMODIALYSIS is a risk factor for getting HEPATITIS C
