    Objective: The aim of this study is to examine and determine the positive distributions of HBsAg and Anti-HCV test results of the patients who applied to Cumhuriyet University Training and Application Hospital Haemodialysis Unit. We evaluated these results in terms of the factors such as age, gender, settlement and sickness table to make a contribution to the literature. Materials and Methods: The HBsAg and Anti-HCV test results of 3023 patients applying to haemodialysis unit of our hospital between 01.01.2002 and 31.12.2011 were examined retrospectively by evaluating the test results of haemodialysis unit and clinical microbiology laboratory. Results: In our study, total 3023 patient applying to our unit, 1696 male (56%) and 1327 female (44%), were evaluated in terms of the HBsAg and Anti-HCV test results. Seropositivity was 3.5% for HBsAg and 5.1% for Anti-HCV. The proportion of subjects with both HBsAg and Anti-HCV was 0.2%. Anti-HCV positivity was frequently seen in the patients with chronic renal failure and HBsAg was frequently seen in the patients with acute renal failure. While anti-HCV positivity was seen more in in chronic renal failure patients, HBsAg positivity was more frequent in acute renal failure patients. Anti-HCV was frequently seen in the patients living in downtown and HBsAg was frequently seen in the patients living in uptown. In our study, no statistically significant difference was found among the distribution of HBsAg and Anti-HCV positivity by age groups; however, the frequency increased in 60-69 age range. Conclusion: We determined that HBsAg and Anti-HCV positivity obtained from the haemodialysis unit of our hospital were below the country average. We believe that lower HBsAg and Anti-HCV results could be achieved by controls of infection control commitees in haemodialysis centres. Also informing the medical staff, personnel, haemodialysis patients and their relatives about these topics with regular trainings and separating the staff who give care to the seropositive patients and equipment from the others and showing the necessary sensitivity in serologic follow-up and vaccination of the patients can decrease the rate.
