摘要
The strategy to prevent hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission to hemodialysed patients includes the screening of blood donors, the use of erythropoietin and the actual, strict application of Universal Precautions. In particular, articles should not be shared between patients, gloves changed and handwashing performed systematically after caring for a patient. The isolation of anti HCV (+) hemodialysed patients is not warranted. The prevention of HCV transmission to staff members relies mainly on the prevention of accidental needlestick injuries.
