Abstract
There are many reports concerning HCV in dialysis patients and most of them conclude that the clinical and biochemical features of hepatitis C are often silent in chronic dialysis patients. Elevated levels of serum alanine aminotransferase activity are a sensitive measure of hepatocellular injury, but so far the relationship between anti-HCV and ALT among chronic dialysis patients has been considered imperfect. To our knowledge, however, such an issue has not been adequately addressed.Keywords
