Abstract:
We studied the prevalence and incidence of anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies in 350 patients during 15 months and looked for some risk factors. We found a significant correlation between anti-HCV positivity and length of dialysis treatment and treatment in more than one center. We propose some prophylactic rules.
