Abstract:
This study aimed at reporting the incidence of the hepatitis C virus as well as the prevention and control measures adopted in an hemodialysis unit. It is a prospective study developed with patients attended from September 1996 to December 1998 in an hemodialysis unit. The consultations from September 1996 to December 1996 were considered the control group and the ones from January 1997 to December 1998 the intervention group. Regarding the period of the control group, the routine of the unit was organized based on the regulation 2042 that systematizes the services of renal therapy. In the subsequent period, complementary measures were implemented. From 1997 to 1998, authors observed the reduction in the number of cases of hepatitis C.
