    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Hepatitis presents a significant health risk in dialysis units.
    • Protecting vulnerable dialysis patients and healthcare workers from hepatitis transmission is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the risks associated with hepatitis in dialysis settings.
    • To introduce upcoming strategies for hepatitis transmission prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • This abstract serves as an introduction to a two-part series.
    • Part one identifies the risks of hepatitis in dialysis.

    Main Results:

    • Hepatitis transmission is a considerable concern for dialysis populations.
    • The risk of hepatitis contraction can be effectively mitigated.

    Conclusions:

    • Implementing preventive measures is key to reducing hepatitis transmission.
    • Further discussion on specific preventive strategies will follow in part two.
