2. Figure 1
Summary receiver operating characteristic curve: EIA vs NAT.*For Khan (at Sn 72%, Sp 97%), the oval size is for the actual numbers analyzed. For each study, the prevalence of HCV per NAT/EIA testing, the location, and the quality are noted. Black ovals indicate 3rd generation EIA, grey ovals indicate 2nd generation EIA.

3. Figure 2
Probability of HCV infection based on population prevalence and EIA test accuracy. (a) Low sensitivity, high specificity; (b) approximated from pooled estimates of sensitivity and specificity; (c) high sensitivity, low specificity. Abbreviations: EIA: enzyme immunoassay; NAT: nucleic acid test.

4. Algorithm 1
CKD Stage 5 hemodialysis diagnostic algorithm. Please refer to the rationale text for a detailed explanation of the impact of pretest probability of HCV+ on the choice of HCV test. In particular, note that after a negative primary NAT, a patient can be considered to be at low probability of HCV infection (unless other factors change) so that subsequent testing by EIA is appropriate. ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; CKD: chronic kidney disease; EIA: enzyme immunoassay; HCV: hepatitis C virus; NAT: nucleic acid test.
