Background: Hepatitis C (HCV) remains a serious public health problem in high-risk persons such as patients on chronic hemodialysis. We aimed to estimate the serological prevalence of HCV, the HCV viral load and genotype, and liver fibrosis stage among patients on chronic hemodialysis at the National Renal Health Center in Lima, Peru. Methods: From June 2019 to March 2021, all patients who received chronic hemodialysis were invited to participate. Subjects who provided written informed consent were enrolled. Patients with HCV-positive serology underwent determination of HCV viral load. Samples from subjects with detectable viral load, underwent determination of HCV genotype. Then, HCV infected subjects underwent determination of liver fibrosis using transitional elastography (Fibroscan 402): Metavir score: F0–F1: 2.5–7.5 kPa, F2: 7.6–9.5 Kpa, F3: 9.6–12 Kpa, F4 (Cirrhosis): 12.1â...
