Abstract
We reappraised biochemical hepatitis C activity in hemodialysis patients in comparison with normal controls. A total of 111 hemodialysis patients and 66 healthy volunteer blood donors with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection were consecutively enrolled. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were normal (≤45 U/L) in 103 (93%) hemodialysis patients and 34 (52%) donors (p pKeywords
