We measured antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) in patients who were receiving hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Sixty seven patients (28%) were anti-HCV positive. The anti-HCV positive frequency increased with the time of treatment with dialysis, the frequency being 50% with a dialysis period > or = 10 years. The frequency of anti-HCV positivity was similar in patients with a history of blood transfusion (48/152, 32%) and in those without this history (19/89, 21%, p > 0.05). Therefore, in addition to blood transfusion, there may be other routes of HCV infection associated with long-term dialysis. Chronic liver disease was observed in 31% (21/67) of the patients positive for anti-HCV but in only 6% (11/174) of the negative patients (p < 0.01). HCV seems to be important as a cause of chronic liver disease in dialysis patients.
我们检测了接受血液透析或持续性非卧床腹膜透析(CAPD)患者的丙型肝炎病毒抗体(抗-HCV)。67名患者(28%)抗-HCV呈阳性。抗-HCV阳性频率随透析治疗时间增加,透析时间≥10年时频率为50%。有输血史患者的抗-HCV阳性频率(48/152,32%)与无输血史患者的频率(19/89,21%,p>0.05)相似。因此,除输血外,长期透析可能还存在其他丙型肝炎病毒感染途径。抗-HCV阳性患者中31%(21/67)观察到慢性肝病,而抗-HCV阴性患者中仅6%(11/174)观察到慢性肝病(p<0.01)。丙型肝炎病毒似乎是透析患者慢性肝病的重要病因。
