Abstract
We studied the seroprevalence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV Ab) in a cohort of 229 chronic hemodialysis patients followed by 6 Dialysis Units in the Milan area. HCV Ab was present in 51 (22.3%) of 229 examined patients. Previous blood transfusions and surgery did not clearly influence HCV seroconversion, whereas duration of dialysis treatment seems to be strictly related to HCV Ab positivity.Entities:
