Hepatitis C virus and carpal tunnel syndrome in hemodialysis patients: a single center cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, dialysis vintage and HCV-RNA replication but not previous HCV-infection were related factors for CTS in MHD patients. Further studies are needed to clarify whether intervention is beneficial for preventing and delaying the progression of CTS in MHD patients with HCV-RNA replication.
