Abstract :

Hepatitis infections are important cause of morbidity and mortality among dialysis patients who have higher risk than general populations due to high number of blood transfusions, prolonged vascular access and the potential for exposure to infected patients and contaminated equipments. The present study of 121 patients was aimed to estimate the prevalence of HBV and HCV infections among those patients.At the start of study 20(16.52%) patients were infected with HBV, 27(22.31%) patients with HCV and 6(4.95%) patients with both. At the end of study 6 (4.95%) new patients were found infected with HCV and 2 (1.65%) new patients with HBV, Hence seroconversion from negative to positive is high for both HBV and HCV infections, but rate of HCV is higher compare to HBV. Stringent Universal Precautions in dialysis unit, proper isolations and separate dialysis machine for infected patients will contribute to reduce cross contamination and nosocomial infections. Immunization with HBV vaccine and regular screening will reduce the prevalence of HBV infections.
