Anti-hepatitis C virus threshold value in predicting hepatitis C virus viremia in hemodialysis patients
Anti-hepatitis C virus negativity is a reliable result in hemodialysis patients. If anti-hepatitis C virus signal-to-cutoff ≥2.23 is detected, confirmation by direct hepatitis C virus-ribonucleic acid testing is recommended. In hemodialysis patients with anti-hepatitis C virus signal-to-cutoff values between 1 and 2.23, false positivity should be considered first, and confirmatory tests should be performed if anti-hepatitis C virus is reactive in a second sample.
