Resumo
A cross-sectional study was performed to
determine the prevalence of HCV among dialysis
population in Goiânia and its association with
possible risk factors. The patients were 173, aged 10
to 70 years old. An Elisa II test was undertaken and
61 of 173 (35.3%) had positive test; when INNO-LIA
test was made, soropositivity was 26% (44/173).
Patients with anti-VHC antibodies have been kept on
hemodialysis treatment for periods longer than
negatives (p < 0.05). Neither drugs users, blood
transfusions, sexual and aminotransferase activity
were significantly correlated with the infection.
There is an elevated prevalence of anti-VHC
antibodies among chronic hemodialysis patients
which seems to be related to the time that patients
are on dialysis treatment.
