Search for: [Abstract = "ochemical tests were performed in all patients in order to estimate the level of liver damage In order to find morphological changes in the liver and spleen as well as features of portal hypertension an ultrasound test was made. In the selected group of patients subjected to analysis, in 40 of them the presence of anti\-HCV was reported, i.e. in 18.6 %, and in 42.5 % of them a positive HCV\-RNA result was reported. It is worth emphasising that in patients dialysed peritoneally the percentage of anti\-HCV antibodies is significantly lower and it ranges from 4.5 to 8%. In 8 \(10.4%\) patients in the anti\-HCV negative group the presence of HCV\-RNA was found. It makes us treat every dialysed patient as potentially infectious irrespective of the fact whether the presence of anti\-HCV antibodies was reported in him\/her or not. Diagnostics towards infection with hepatitis caused by G virus \(anti\-HGV antibodies\) was performed in 93 patients \(the number of determinations was limited by possibilities of the test used. The anti\- HGV antibodies were reported in 42 patients \(45.2%\). In the group of patients in whom the presence of anti\-HGV antibodies was declared, in 22 of them genetic virus material was determined, out of which in 14 patients \(63.6%\) the presence of HGV RNA was reported. Conclusions\: 1. Reporting of a relatively high rate of dialysed patients with antibodies against viruses C"]
