%X hemodialysis population is a high risk group related to hepatitis c virus infection. authors made a multicenter analysis on infection prevalence of hepatitis c virus in dialysis units of western region applying serologic and molecular techniques observing if there significant differences as regards the application of both techniques. we achieved high values of anti-chv antibody prevalence in all dialysis units (76 %) as well as the estimated prevalence applying viral rna detection (55 %). there were not significant differences (k) as regards application of both techniques in most of analyzed dialysis units. viral high prevalence is associated with nosocomial transmission caused by no-fulfillment of established universal precaution standards.
