“…This is lower than studies conducted by Rawat 3,7,[9][10][11] Worldwide prevalence rate ranging from 4-15% for HBsAg in HD patients has been reported, whereas, in India it ranges from 3.4% to 45%. 4,12 We report 14.8% HBV positivity among HD patients which in agreement with the study conducted by Mittal et al (10.2%), Bhaumika et al (12.1%). 7,13 However, Rawat et al reported 7% HBV positivity and Saravanan et al reported 33.5% positivity in their studies.…”

Introduction: Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis (HD) are at high risk of viral hepatitis due to blood transfusion, prolonged vascular access, exposure to infected patients and contaminated equipments etc. Knowledge of the prevalence of such infections is very important to access magnitude of the problem because these infections play important role in the morbidity and mortality of hemodialysis (HD) patients. Aim and Objectives: This study was done to determine the prevalence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in patients on hemodialysis at our tertiary care hospital of Western Maharashtra. Materials and Methods: Settings and Design: Hospital based cross sectional study was conducted for six months in HD unit at our tertiary care hospital. All patients (n=135) were screened for Hepatitis B surface antigen and antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV). Prevalence, age and sex wise distribution as well as risk factors for transmission of these infections were observed. Results: Total 135 HD patients were screened for presence of HBV and HCV infections. Of these, 39 (28.9%), 20 (14.8%), 6 (4.4%) were found to be having HCV, HBV and Dual HBV and HCV infection respectively. Conclusions: HCV was the most prevalent among HD patients than HBV. History of multiple blood transfusions, HD outside center or longer duration of HD were all important risk factor noted for high prevalence of sero-positivity for HBV and/or HCV. Strict adherence to universal precautions careful attention to hygiene and strict sterilization of dialysis machines are important to prevent further transmission of these viruses.

“…The prevalence of HCV infection in patients undergoing dialysis is persistently greater than that in the general population being endemic in haemodialysis (HD) units around the world, predominantly in Mediterranean and developing countries of the Middle and Far East. Nosocomial transmission of HCV infection has been reported to be a considerable route in modern hospital dialysis units, particularly during the outbreaks of infection [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

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
