Also our findings greater than that in developed countries, in USA 14%, in France (15%), United Kingdom (4%), Germany (7%) and Spain (22%) [16,17,26].

Hepatitis C virus share razors. P values = (0.0001, 0.0031, 0.0001, 0.0018, 0.0005 and 0.0002) Results: Field workers interviewed ten dialysis centers with a total of 287 study subjects. Sixty out of 287 (20.9%) was found to be anti-HC reactive. The multivariate analysis indicated as risk factors associated to anti-HCV positivity the number of blood transfusion received, duration of dialysis treatment, number of units of treatment, history of surgeries, multiple injections and using

“…The prevalence rates in developed countries such as in Japan (2.5%), Holland (4%), the United Kingdom (4%), Germany (7%), Belgium (7%) and Sweden (10%) are low. However, prevalence is a little bit higher in the USA (14%), France (15%), Spain (22%) and Italy (30%), in China 41.1% [16,17,26].…”

“…The prevalence of HCV infection among HD patients varies widely, ranging from 5% to approximately 40%, depending on the geographic region. Thus, these patients still represent a high risk group for the acquisition of HCV infection [5][6][7]. Prevalence of anti-HCV positive patients among those on HD in Serbia was found to be high, but showing tendency to decrease (31-23%) [8].…”

“…Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are at a higher risk of HCV exposure due to sharing of dialysis machines [8]. It has been estimated that HD increases the odds of acquiring HCV by five folds [9]. Characterizing HCV infection levels in HD patients and controlling its transmission through this mode of exposure are integral to improving the quality and healthcare utilization of HD.…”

Epidemiology of hepatitis C virus among hemodialysis patients in the Middle East and North Africa: systematic syntheses, meta-analyses, and meta-regressions

SUMMARYWe aimed to investigate hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemiology among hemodialysis (HD) patients in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Our data source was an HCV biological measures database populated through systematic literature searches. Descriptive epidemiologic syntheses, effects meta-analyses and meta-regressions, and genotype analyses were conducted. We analyzed 289 studies, including 106 463 HD patients. HCV incidence ranged between 0 and 100% as seroconversion risk, and between 0 and 14·7 per 1000 person-years as incidence rate. The regional pooled mean estimate was 29·2% (95% CI: 25·6-32·8%) for HCV antibody positive prevalence and 63·0% (95% CI: 55·4-70·3%) for the viremic rate. Region within MENA, country income group, and year of data collection were associated with HCV prevalence; year of data collection adjusted odds ratio was 0·92 (95% CI: 0·90-0·95). Genotype diversity varied across countries with four genotypes documented regionally: genotype 1 (39·3%), genotype 2 (5·7%), genotype 3 (29·6%), and genotype 4 (25·4%). Our findings showed that one-third of HD patients are HCV antibody positive and one-fifth are chronic carriers and can transmit the infection. However, HCV prevalence is declining. In context of growing HD patient population and increasing HCV treatment availability, it is critical to improve standards of infection control in dialysis and expand treatment coverage.

Hepatitis C Infection and Related Factors in Hemodialysis Patients in China: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Viral hepatitis is still one of the main complications in HD patients, with hepatitis C being the most common one. The key to reducing the incidence of viral hepatitis in HD patients is to control contagion and reduce the frequency of blood transfusion and cross-infection.
