Hepatitis G virus (HGV) or GB-virus type C (GBV-C) is distributed globally and is present in the volunteer blood donor population. For epidemiological studies, HGV is of interest in hemodialysis patients who are at risk of parenterally transmitted infections. The role of HGV in producing illness and hepatic disease has yet to be determined. A review of literature was performed in 2009 to summarize scientific reports on epidemiology and pathogenesis of the HGV infection and its exposure through hemodialysis.
庚型肝炎病毒（HGV）或丙型GB病毒（GBV-C）在全球范围内均有分布，且存在于自愿献血人群中。对于流行病学研究而言，HGV在有经肠外传播感染风险的血液透析患者中备受关注。HGV在引发疾病和肝脏疾病方面的作用尚未确定。2009年进行了一次文献综述，以总结关于HGV感染的流行病学和发病机制及其通过血液透析传播的科学报告。
