Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is common among dialysis patients and is usually diagnosed through lab tests due to the unique progression of the disease.
- A study was conducted with 93 dialysis patients to determine the accurate prevalence of HCV by testing for both anti-HCV antibodies and HCV RNA levels over time.
- Results showed a 20.6% prevalence of HCV, with longer dialysis duration linked to higher chances of being viremic, indicating that a dual testing approach could improve diagnosis in this patient group.
