Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is more common among hemodialysis patients than the general population and transmission of HCV in dialysis clinics has been reported. In the context of the increased morbidity and mortality associated with HCV infection in the end stage renal disease population, it is important that dialysis clinics have processes in place for ensuring recommended infection control practices, including Standard Precautions, through regular audits and training of the staff. This review will summarize the epidemiology of HCV infection and risk factors for HCV transmission among hemodialysis patients. In addition, the proper protocols are required to investigate suspected cases of HCV transmission in dialysis facilities and recommendations for prevention of HCV transmission in will be reviewed.
丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染在血液透析患者中比普通人群更为常见，并且已有报道称HCV在透析诊所中传播。鉴于终末期肾病患者中与HCV感染相关的发病率和死亡率不断上升，透析诊所通过定期审计和对工作人员进行培训来制定确保推荐的感染控制措施（包括标准预防措施）的流程非常重要。本综述将总结HCV感染的流行病学以及血液透析患者中HCV传播的危险因素。此外，还将审查调查透析设施中疑似HCV传播病例的适当方案以及预防HCV传播的建议。
