Abstract
Based on this review of the plausibility of transmission of HCV via the haemodialysis circuit, the ART discussion group could see no merit in the use of dedicated machines. The group considers the current national, European and international guidelines for prevention of transmission of HCV to be appropriate in terms of both patient care and equipment management.
