Rationale: Chronic renal disease patients on hemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk of infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV). High prevalence rates have been reported from dialysis units worldwide. Recent studies have shown an inverse relation between HCV infection and life expectancy of patients on HD and those undergoing renal transplant. Objectives: Assess the prevalence of and risk factors for HCV infection in patients undergoing HD. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken from January to December 2007. During this period, 236 patients were tested for anti-HCV antibodies with third generation ELISA. Those who tested positive further underwent qualitative PCR testing for HCV-RNA. A subject was considered HCV-inf...
