Results: 688 patients underwent hemodialysis were included in this study, 71 patients (10.323%) positive HCV infection, male 33 patient (46.47%) and female 38 patient (53.53%). The highest positive anti HCV at the age of 48-56 year (24 patient). Patient with blood transfusion were positive 69 patient (97.20%) (p<0.05). Patient on Hemodialysis 5-10 years with positive HCV (60.56%) (p<0.05). From frequency HD one times a week 39 patient and two times a week 32 patient (p<0.05). Based on access type; manual access 48 patient (67.61%), AV shunt 15 patient (21.13%), double lumen 8 patient (11.26%) (p>0.05). Conclusions: Prevalence of chronic hepatitis C infection in CKD on HD is 10.3 %. There is correlation between blood transfusions, duration and frequency of hemodialysis on anti HCV positive. No relationship between access type of hemodialysis with anti HCV positive.
