Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the existence percentage of hepatitis B surface antigen and anti Hepatitis C virus antibodies in chronic kidney patients on dialysis.

Material & Method: This was a cross-sectional study. It was conducted at Pathology Department Bacha khan Medical Complex swabi. Duration of this was six months from January 2018 to June 2018. Two hundred and forty six (246) chronic renal failure (CRF) patients who were on regular dialysis were taken for this study. Their blood samples were taken for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti hepatitis C virus antibodies (antiHCVAb) detection. The analysis was performed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.

Results: In the results total 246 patients were enrolled in which 49(32.6%) male and 21(21.8%) were HBsAg positive and 23 (15.3%) male, 11 (11.4%) female were HCV positive.

Conclusion: HBV and Anti HCV antibodies presence has been detected in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis. Therefore strict control measures should be taken for the control of hepatotropic infection and transmission.
