On the positivity of the test for anti-HCV considerations in dialized patients

Abstract
We have tested dialized patients with the ELISA test of 1st generation for anti-HCV. All patients who resulted positive were subjected to the RIBA test of 1st and 2nd generation. Since the positivity rate with this test is considerably more reliable, we suggest to confirm by RIBA test all anti-HCV-positive patients with ELISA in time.
