Hepatitis C in hemodialysis patients needs more attention for control and review the risk factors

We read with great interest the published article by Al-Jamal et al [1] about hepatitis C in­fection (HCV) in hemodialysis patients in a region in Jordan. I agree with the authors about the importance of HCV infection in hemodia­lysis patients, [2] but some points need clarifi­cation. The prevalence of HCV infection among dialysis patients varies markedly from country to country and among dialysis centers within a single country. [3] The authors found the similar data, but it would have been better to discus more about the use of erythropoietin, universal precautions, health care services and number of nurses to the patients in the centers.
