TL;DR
The screening of a dialysis population for the presence of hepatitis-associated antigen has proved to be of value in locating a probable source of infection and in terminating an outbreak of hepatitis by early detection of H.A. antigen positive patients and staff.
Abstract
The screening of a dialysis population for the presence of hepatitis-associated antigen (H.A. antigen) has proved to be of value in locating a probable source of infection and in terminating an outbreak of hepatitis by early detection of H.A. antigen positive patients and staff.

Patients who receive large numbers of transfusions for anemia and other causes may develop precipitins in their blood, which were thought to be antibodies against serum lipoproteins which developed in the patients as a result of the repeated transfusions.

An antigen that reacted in the immunodiffusion test with serum from multiply transfused patients was detected in the blood during the incubation period prior to the onset of major chemical or clinical abnormalities, suggesting this antigen is specific for serum hepatitis virus.

The antigen found in I96I was found to be extremely rare in American populations but it was relatively common in several interesting diseases, and was found in acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and acute lymphocytics leukemia, but not in chronic myelogeneous leukemia.

It is concluded that persistence of the hepatitis virus, as judged by a positive test for hepatitis-associated antigen, is unlikely to be an important factor in the aetiology of chronic liver disease in Great Britain.

It is suggested that a positive test for S.H. H. antigen in serum is related to the presence of hepatitis virus and should have a place in the management of patients with chronic renal failure on maintenance haemodialysis.
