HBV, HCV, and HIV Seroprevalence in Hemodialysis Patients Admitted to a Tertiary Care Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia
Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) patients are a special group of patients who are at high risk for infection and related complications. Blood-borne viruses associated with chronic diseases such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are important causes of morbidity and mortality in HD patients. Immunodeficiency of the patients, weak protective efficacy of vaccines (HBV etc.), invasive vascular procedures,...

Bloodstream infections are an important cause of hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis. Eliminating bloodstream infections in the hemodialysis setting has been the focus of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Making Dialysis Safer for Patients Coalition and, more recently, the CDC’s partnership with the American Society of Nephrology’s Nephrologists Transforming Dialysis Safety Initiative. The majority of vascular access–associated bloodst...

HIV-infected patients who are on hemodialysis have a worse prognosis than noninfected patients who are on hemodialysis. Their outcome in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era remains unclear. Outcomes in patients who were enrolled in the French Dialysis in HIV/AIDS (DIVA) cohort were determined in a 2-yr prospective follow-up. All HIV-infected patients who were on hemodialysis in France on January 1, 2002, were included and followed prospectively until January 1, 2004. Patients' s...

Infection is the most common cause of hospitalization and the second most common cause of mortality among hemodialysis (HD) patients, after cardiovascular disease. HD patients as well as the dialysis staff are vulnerable to contracting health-care-associated infections (HAIs) due to frequent and prolonged exposure to many possible contaminants in the dialysis environment. The extracorporeal nature of the therapy, the associated common environmental conditions and the immune compromised status of...

The Turkish Society of Viral Hepatitis researched the prevalence of HBV among 73,175 people.The HBsAg positivity was found to be 2.3% with predominant D (HDV) genotype in different parts of Turkey in 2012.The estimated number of HBV carriers in Turkey is 3.3 million, with an overall HBV prevalence of 4.57%.Even a very conservative assessment means that 10% of the carriers would need treatment, which means that 330,000 chronic HBV cases would be eligible for treatment in Turkey alone.A total of 1...

Hemodialysis patients have the highest risk for developing hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) than the general population. There is no study available for HBV and HCV in this population in Somalia. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors of HBV and HCV infections among hemodialysis patients in Somalia.A cross-sectional assessment of hemodialysis patients from January 2021 to June 2021 was used in this study. 220 patients were included in ...

Description: The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2018 clinical practice guideline for the prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an extensive update of KDIGO's 2008 guideline on HCV infection in CKD. This update reflects the major advances since the introduction of direct-acting antivirals (DAA...
