- Abstract
Background: GB virus C or hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) can be transmitted parenterally, very likely sharing common routes of transmission with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Patients on maintenance heamodialysis have been shown to be at increased risk of the novel GBV-C/HGV infection. Whether continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) can reduce the risk of GBV-C/HCV infection as demonstrated for HCV remains unknown.
