HCV infections in dialysis patients.
HCV is seen as an emergent problem in Dialysis Units; in fact, the patients of these centers are at high risk for blood-transmitted infections, through coming microepidemies. For this reason and using the same method, we have studied the prevalence of anti-HCV and virus-derived hepatitis in a dialytic population of 105 patients. The prevalence of anti-HCV was 25.71%.
