Prevalence of hepatitis B, hepatitis delta, and human immunodeficiency virus infections in Omani patients with renal diseases.

Abstract：

:Patients treated at the Royal Hospital in Oman during January-June 1991 were divided in 3 groups. The 1st group included 103 patients (49 males, 54 females, with a mean of 39 years) who attended the Nephrology Clinic and none of whom were on dialysis. In the 2nd group there were 102 patients (46 males, 56 females, with a mean age of 42 years) on regular hemodialysis (with a mean duration of 35 months) because of end-stage renal failure. The 3rd group comprised 82 kidney transplant patients (44 males, 38 females, with a mean age of 33 years) with a mean duration of prior hemodialysis of 9 months in 80 patients. Blood serum samples from all patients as well as from 134 medical students and 564 blood donors were tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. HBsAg-positive samples were tested for antigen and antibody to hepatitis delta virus (HDV). The prevalence of HBsAg was significantly higher in hemodialysis and renal transplant patients than in nephrology clinic patients (P .05). Previous exposure to HBV was found in 48 of 103 (46.6%) nephrology clinic patients, in 53 of 102 (52%) hemodialysis patients, and in 43 of 82 (52.4%) renal transplant patients. Anti-HBc prevalence rates were significantly lower in medical students (23.1%) and blood donors (27%) than in the patient groups (P .001). In HBsAg-positive subjects HDV infection was found in 1 of 13 (7.7%) patients on dialysis and 2 of 9 (22.2%) kidney transplant recipients who had been transfused in the past. A double infection of HBV and HCV was found only in 4 hemodialysis and 2 transplant patients among 287 patients and 698 healthy subjects tested. Among 5 HIV-infected patients 3 transplant patients seroconverted between 3 and 7 months after kidney transplantation abroad; and 2 hemodialysis patients seroconverted after repeated dialysis and multiple blood transfusions used for kidney transplantation abroad.
