We determined the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in hemodialysis patients by antibody testing and HCV RNA determination by PCR. A total of 149 patients with kidney failure with replacement therapy were tested. The prevalence of anti-HCV was 6.7% (10 of 149 patients), and viremia was detectable in 8 of 149 (5%) patients. Three of 149 patients (2%) were anti-HCV negative with detectable HCV RNA.
我们通过抗体检测和PCR法检测丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)RNA,确定了血液透析患者中HCV的流行率。共有149例接受替代治疗的肾衰竭患者接受了检测。抗HCV的流行率为6.7%(149例患者中有10例),149例患者中有8例(5%)可检测到病毒血症。149例患者中有3例(2%)抗HCV阴性但可检测到HCV RNA。
