摘要
Prevention of nosocomical transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been a signal achievement ill the management of chronic kidney disease. The rate of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seropositivity in patients on maintenance hemodialysis in the developed world is currently low (0-10%) but outbreaks of acute HBV infection continue to occur in this setting. The prevalence of HBV infection within dialysis units in developing countries appears higher (2-20%) based on relatively few reports. Although data are limited, HBV infection in dialysis population diminishes survival: HBV viral load in HBsAg-positive dialysis p patients is reportedly low and stable over time. Updated recommendations for the management of HBsAg chronic carriers on maintenance dialysis have been issued. No rigorously controlled treatment trials for treatment of hepatitis B with either interferon or lamivudine therapy ill dialysis patients are currently available.
