Key Points

To investigate the seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in patients with chronic renal failure receiving hemodialysis over a four-year period.
Retrospective analysis of hospital records from two medical centers in Turkey spanning April 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023 (N=463 analyzed from 3,799 screened).
Patient serum samples were evaluated for HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV, and anti-HIV markers using automated chemiluminescent and electrochemiluminescent immunoassay analyzers.
Zero patients tested positive for anti-HIV (0.0%), while anti-HCV was detected in 17 patients (3.7%).
Active hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was present in 11 patients (2.3%), and protective hepatitis B surface antibodies (anti-HBs) were detected in 423 patients (91.9%).
