Interventions for dialysis patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
CONCLUSIONS: In dialysis patients with HCV infection grazoprevir plus elbasvir probably improves ETR. There is no difference in ETR or SVR for combinations of telaprevir, ribavirin and PEG interferon given for different durations and doses. Though no longer in use, PEG interferon was more effective than standard interferon for ETR but not SVR. Increasing doses of PEG interferon did not improve responses. The addition of ribavirin to PEG interferon may result in fewer relapses, higher SVR, and higher numbers with adverse events.PMID:37096802 | PMC:PMC10130818 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD007003.pub3

High Prevalence of Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection among Iranian Hemodialysis Patients
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Mar 13:tpmd220345. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0345. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConsidering the potential risks associated with occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, this study was designed to investigate the magnitude and genotypic pattern of occult HBV infection among hemodialysis patients. All patients on regular hemodialysis attending the dialysis centers located in southern Iran and 277 nonhemodialysis controls were invited to participate in this study. Serum samples were tested for detection of hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by competitive enzyme imm...
