Hemodialysis is a major method of treatment for the patients of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It so disposes them to some infections, specially blood born viruses. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of serological markers for HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV and HIV Ab in hemodialysis patients in Zanjan city.

Results
Positive HBsAg was found in .2.3%, HBs Ab 65.3% and HCV Ab 1.1% of cases. HIV Ab cases were negative in these patients.
 
Conclusions 
The prevalence of HBsAg in hemodialysis patients has been re­ported to be lower than in the general population. In this study, the prevalence of HBs Ab compared to other studies in Iran and other countries is not much different.
