Article Synopsis
- Amplification of HCV RNA from blood revealed that 30.9% of 210 HCV-seronegative dialysis patients had occult HCV infections, despite normal testing methods.
- The study also found three additional patients who tested negative for HCV but had isolated HCV core-specific antibodies, indicating they could still be infectious.
- These discoveries suggest that current management practices in dialysis centers may need to be updated to better identify and manage hidden HCV infections.
