Abstract
- Control of the spread of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in dialysis units has been one of major advances in the management of end-stage renal disease. However, the natural history of HBV in dialysis patients remains unclear. The aim of this study is to measure monthly HBV viral load (HBV DNA) in a large cohort (n = 29) of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive chronic dialysis patients during 12 months.
