Abstract

Background and objective: HEPATITIS C virus (HCV) and HEPATITIS B (HBV) infection are especially problematic in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are undergoing HEMODIALYSIS.Materials and methods: In a cross sectional study, from May to September 2009, in 11 different HEMODIALYSIS (HD) units in the north of Iran, clinical data such as age, sex, HBsAg, anti- HCV antibody and dialysis duration of HEMODIALYSIS patients were recorded. Patients with positive antibodies to HCV were tested for detecting HCV RNA.Result: From 514 patients 286 (55.64%) were male. In this study, 1.4% of patients were HBsAg positive, and (11.9%) were anti HCV positive. From anti HCV positive cases 52.5% were HCV RNA positive over all (6%) of patients were HCV PCR positive. There is significant relationship between HCV Ab positivity with sex and dialysis duration (p<0.05).Significant relationship was found between HCV RNA positivity with sex and dialysis duration (p<0.05). There is significant difference between mean of dialysis duration in anti HCV positive and anti HCV negative patients. (p<0.05) Two cases (0.38 %) of dual infection of HBs Ag and Anti HCV Ab positivity were indentified.Conclusion: There is low prevalence of HEPATITIS C and B in HEMODIALYSIS population of our region and It can be decreased by HBV vaccination, Antiviral Treatment and isolation of infected individuals.
