The Authors study with radioimmunoassay for detection of HBeAg, anti-HBc, anti-HBs, anti-HBe, 22 patients on regular dialysis treatment, 41 their familiars, 10 staff dialysis unit members and 16 their familiars. There was found sure correlation between in the mean type presence of HBsAG and HBeAg and risk of infectious hepatitis B. The presence of the "e" antibody has not always protective significance and was stressed the importance of non parenteral virus transmission.
