Introduction: Hemodialysis is a trusted intermediate procedure for management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. As such CKD is an immune-deficient state, hence, they may be infected by hepatitis B virus (HCV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) during hemodialysis. Eventually, HBV and HCV infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among patients of hemodialysis. Prevalence of HBV and HCV infection among hemodialysis patients is highly variable.
