| Research Abstract |
(Aim ＆ method)
Natural typer interferon α(INFα)was administered to HCV positive hemodialysis and transplant patients in order to eliminate HCV.Hemodialysed patients were received INFα500×10^4U for 14 days and followed by 500×10^6U, 3 times/week, for 6 months. Renal transplant recipients with HCV were administered INFα1000×10^6U for 14days and followed by 1000×10^6U, 3 times/week for 6 months.
(Results)
12 hemodialysed patients an 10 renal transplant recipients were enrolled in this study. All 22 patients showed at least partial response with normalization of transaminase and negative HCV-RNA.11 patients showed complete response without returning HCV-RNA positive after 6 months of conclusion of INFαtreatment.
(Conclusion)
INFαtreatment for the hemodialyzed patients and renal transplant recipients with HCV was highly effective to eliminate HCV.
