Antibodies against non-structural c100/3 and structural core antigen of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in hemodialysis patients Anticorpos contra os antígenos não estrutural c100/3 e estrutural core do vírus da hepatite C (HCV) em pacientes de hemodiálise

Two groups of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) maintenance were evaluated for their antibody response to non-structural c100/3 protein and structural core protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Forty-six patients (Group 1) never presented liver abnormalities during HD treatment, while 52 patients...

SchatzmayrTwo groups of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) maintenance were evaluated for their antibody response to non-structural c100/3 protein and structural core protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Forty-six patients (Group 1) never presented liver abnormalities during HD treatment, while 52 patients (Group 2) had either current or prior liver enzyme elevations. Prevalence rates of 32.6% and 41.3% were found for anti-c100/3 and anti-HCV core antibodies, respectively, in patients with silent infections (Group 1). The rate of anti-c100/3 in patients of Group 2 was 71.15% and reached 86.5% for anti-HCV core antibodies. The recognition of anti-c100/3 and anti-core antibodies was significantly higher in Group 2 than in Group 1. A line immunoassay composed of structural and non-structural peptides was used as a confirmation assay. HBV infection, measured by the presence of anti-HBc antibodies, was observed in 39.8% of the patients. Six were HBsAg chronic carriers and 13 had naturally acquired anti-HBs antibodies. The duration of HD treatment was correlated with anti-HCV positivity. A high prevalence of 96.7% (Group 2) was found in patients who underwent more than 5 years of treatment. Our results suggest that anti-HCV core ELISA is more accurate for detecting HCV infection than anti-c100/3. Although the risk associated with the duration of HD treatment and blood transfusion was high, additional factors such as a significant non-transfusional spread of HCV seems to play a role as well. The identification of infective patients by more sensitive methods for HCV genome detection should help to control the transmission of HCV in the unit under study.<br>Dois grupos de pacientes em tratamento hemodialítico foram avaliados quanto às respostas de anticorpos contra as proteínas não estrutural c100/3 (anti-c100/3) e estrutural core (anti-HCV core) do vírus da hepatite C (HCV). Quarenta e seis pacientes (Grupo 1) nunca apresentaram alterações dos níveis de alanina aminotransferase (ALT) durante o tratamento hemodialítico, ao passo que 52 pacientes (Grupo 2) têm ou já tiveram elevações desta enzima hepática. Em pacientes sem alterações bioquímicas evidentes (Grupo 1) foram encontradas prevalências de 32.6% e 41.3% para anti-c100/3 e anti-HCV core, respectivamente. No Grupo 2, estas prevalências foram de 71,15% e 86,5%. Um teste composto de peptídeos estruturais e não estruturais imobilizados separadamente e dispostos em bandas paralelas em fitas de nailon, foi usado como teste confirmatório. A infecção pelo HBV, avaliada pela presença de anticorpos anti-HBc foi observada em 39.8% dos pacientes; 6 eram portadores crônicos de HBsAg e 13 possuiam anti-HBs adquiridos naturalmente.

Nossos resultados sugerem que o anti-HCV core é um marcador mais preciso para detectar a infecção pelo HCV do que o anti-c100/3.
