Abstract :
We read carefully the article by Zehedi et al., which determined the prevalence of hepatitis B (HBV), C (HCV), and D (HDV) viruses as well as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in hemodialysis (HD) patients within Kerman province, located in south-east region of Iran. It is now well established that the prevalence of various types of hepatitis viruses among HD patients is higher than the general population.
