PREVALENCE OF HEPATITIS IN HAEMO DIALYSIS PATIENTS IN RESOURCE LIMITED TERTIARY CARE CENTER

Abstract

This study investigates the prevalence of Hepatitis C (HCV) and Hepatitis B (HBV) among hemodialysis patients in a resource-limited setup. The study aims to understand the burden of these viral infections in this vulnerable population and provide insights into the challenges posed by limited resources. A literature review approach has been adopted, focusing on relevant studies conducted within similar healthcare settings. The findings reveal the high prevalence of HCV and HBV infections, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive preventive measures and improved access to diagnostics, treatment, and vaccination in resource-limited dialysis centers
