| [ Summary ] | It is important to prevent HBV infection through vaccination of HB vaccines. Moreover, because HBV survives on the environmental surface for a long time, it is important for patients who are HBV-infected and undergoing dialysis to remain in isolation and prevent horizontal infection. HCV is recommended to be treated aggressively in all patients who are HCV-infected and undergoing dialysis, as the effect of DAA recommended in the guidelines is very high at almost 100 %. |
