ABSTRACT

Family members of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected hemodialysis patients had a high rate (8.1%) of HCV infection and were often infected by the same genotype of HCV as the renal patients. Renal patients who had a longer history of hemodialysis or more frequent arteriovenous shunt replacement posed a higher risk to their household contacts, especially to their primary-care providers at home.
