Abstract (2. Language): 
We determined anti-HCV prevalence in 89 hemodialysis patients in our unit and evaluated the relationship with hemodialysis duration and blood transfusion. Also comparing these findings with the results of the studies at 1990 and 1994 in our unit, we detected the changes in anti-HCV prevalence during last 10 years and possible factors in this change. HCV-antibodies were evaluated with third generation enzyme immunoassay method. Mean age of the patients was 46.5=17 (11-75) years. Dialysis duration and transfusion number were 34.2±36.5 months and 5.1±4.9 units, respectively. Anti-HCV prevalence was decreased from 48 % to 29 % (x2= 4.08, p=0.04) from 1990 to 1994 years. Anti-HCV prevalence was decreased to 19.1 % (17 patients) in 2000, but this decrease (from 1994 to 2000) was not statistically significant (x2=1.80, p=0.18). The relationships between anti-HCV positivity and dialysis duration (p=0.005), and transfusion number (p=0.000) were significant. We conclude that anti-HCV prevalence decreased in our unit during last 10 years. The separation of anti-HCV positive and negative machines, the lower transfusion need due to eryhropoietin treatment and strict application of infection control rules may be responsible for this situation.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Ünitemizde hemodiyalize girmekte olan toplam 89 hastada anti-hepatit C virus (HCV) prevalansını belirleyerek hemodiyaliz süresi ve kan transfüzyonu ile ilişkisini inceledik. Ayrıca 1990 ve 1994 yıllarında ünitemizde yapılan iki ayrı çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlarla bulgularımızı karşılaştırarak, ünitemizde son 10yılda anti-HCVprevalansındaki değişmeyi ve bu değişimde etkili olabilecek faktörleri araştırdık. HCV antikorları üçüncü jenerasyon enzim immunoassay yöntemiyle yapıldı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 46.5±17 yıl (11, 75) idi. Ortalama diyaliz süresi ve transfüzyon sayıları sırasıyla 34.2±36.5 ay, 5.1=4.9 ünite olarak bulundu. Ünitemizde 1990 yılında %48 olan anti-HCV prevalansının 1994 yılında %29'a gerilediği (x =4.08, p=0.04) tespit edildi. 1994'ten 2000 yılına gelindiğinde ise anti-HCV prevalansının % 19.1'e düştüğü ancak bu azalmanın istatistiki olarak anlamlı olmadığı (x=1.80, p=0.18) saptandı. Anti-HCV pozitifliğinin diyaliz süresi (p=0.005) ve transfüzyon sayısı (p=0,000) ile ilişkisi istatistiki olarak anlamlı bulundu. Ünitemizde son 10 yılda anti-HCV prevalansının önemli oranda düştüğü, bu azalmada anti-HCV pozitif ve negatif makinelerin ayrılması, eritropoetin uygulaması nedeniyle kan transfüzyon ihtiyacının azalması yanında evrensel enfeksiyon kontrol kurallarına daha sıkı uyumun etkili olduğu kanaatine vardık.
