Viral Infections in Dialysis Patients Part B: Dialysis Associated Hepatitis

  • Chapter

Abstract

Viral liver diseases, especially due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), were observed with a high frequency in hemodialysis units throughout the world. Due to the deficient immune response of uremic subjects, which renders them unable to eliminate viruses, hemodialysis patients act as reservoirs of the viruses and transmit infection to other patients, to the dialysis unit staff and eventually to their own family, in the case of infection with HBV.
