The aim
To determine the prevalence of TTV in patients undergoing hemodialysis and to evaluate the possible risk factors.
Materials and methods
This study was conducted in 93 patients, attending hemodialysis unit at AL-Imammain AL-Kadhimain Medical City Hospital for a period from November 2020 to March 2021. The demographic and clinical characteristics including age, sex, underling medical condition, hepatitis B and C status and laboratory tests such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and total serum bilirubin (TSB) were obtained from the record of the patients in hemodialysis unit in the hospital. Direct detection of TTV-Ag was done by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results
TTV-Ag was detected in 38 out of 93 (40.9%) hemodialysis patients. Demographic, clinical and risk factors ie sex, age, history of diabetes, history of hypertension, history of blood transfusion, number of blood transfusion, the hemodialysis duration, history of surgery and liver enzymes levels did not show significant relation (P> 0.05).
Conclusions
This study showed high prevalence of Torque Teno virus in hemodialysis patients, however, TTV did not play a role in liver injury among these patients.
