Abstract

Aim: Patients with hemodialysis are in
the risk group for hepatitis viruses which can be transmitted by blood or blood
product, needle-stick injury or fecal-oral route. The present
study was aimed to determine the seropositivity of Hepatitis E, Hepatitis G and
TTV, in hemodialysis patients.

Materials and
Methods: A total of 132 people, consisting 66 hemodialysis patients (30
female, 36 male) and 66 controls (43 female, 23 male), was included in the study.
Anti-HEV, anti-HGV and anti-TTV IgG levels were measured by ELISA method. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software.
The results of the statistical evaluation Students t test, Fisher's exact test
and Mann-Whitney tests were used. The value of P < 0.05 was
considered as statistically significant.

Results: The age
average of the 66 patients and healhty subjects in the study was 54.9 and 47.2
years, respectively. When the age average of patient group and control group
were compared, the average age of the patient group was higher than the control
group. Anti-TTV-IgG and anti-HEV IgG positivities were higher in hemodialysis
patients than in the control group. Anti-HGV-IgG positivity was not noted in
patients and the control group. There was no statistically significant
relationship between anti-TTV IgG and anti-HEV IgG positivities and the
duration of hemodialysis, age and gender.







Conclusion:
Hemodialysis patients are at a high risk of transmission of  TTV, hepatitis E virus and other hepatitis
viruses. Therefore, complying with the rules of cleaning and disinfection in
hemodialysis units are necesseary  for
prevent transmission of hepatitis viruses, such as HEV, and TTV.

Abstract

Amaç: Hemodiyaliz
hastaları kan, kan ürünleri, perkütan yaralanma veya fekal-oral yolla bulaşabilen
hepatit virüsleri açısından risk grubunda yer alır. Bu çalışmada, hemodiyaliz
hastalarında Hepatit E, Hepatit G ve TTV seropozitifliğinin belirlenmesi
amaçlandı.

Gereç ve Yöntemler:
Çalışmaya 66 hemodiyaliz hastası (30 kadın, 36 erkek) ve 66 kontrol (43 kadın,
23 erkek) olmak üzere toplam 132 kişi dahil edildi. Çalışmada anti-HEV, anti
HGV ve anti-TTV IgG düzeyleri ELISA yöntemi ile çalışıldı.  İstatistiksel analizler SPSS programı ile
yapıldı. Elde edilen sonuçların istatistiksel değerlendirilmesinde Students t
testi, Fischer exact testi ve Mann Whitney-U testleri kullanıldı. P < 0.05
değeri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi.

Bulgular:
Çalışmaya alınan 66 hasta ve 66 sağlıklı kontrol grubunun yaş ortalaması
sırasıyla; 54,9 ve 47,2 idi.  Hasta ve kontrol  grubunun yaş ortalaması  karşılaştırıldığında hasta grubunun yaş
ortalaması daha yüksekti.

Anti-TTV IgG ve anti-HEV IgG pozitifliği hemodiyaliz
hastalarında kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek bulundu. Hasta ve kontrol
grubunda anti-HGV IgG pozitifliği tespit edilmedi.   Hemodiyaliz hasta grubunda anti-TTV IgG ve
anti-HEV IgG pozitifliği ile hemodiyaliz süresi, yaş ve cinsiyet arasında
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı. 









Sonuç:
Hemodiyaliz hastaları,  TTV, hepatit E
virüsü ve diğer hepatit virüslerinin bulaşı açısından yüksek risk taşırlar. Bu
nedenle, hemodiyaliz ünitelerde temizlik ve dezenfeksiyon kurallarına uyulması
HEV ve TTV gibi hepatit virüslerinin bulaşını önlemek için gereklidir.
