The study aimed to detect the prevalence of hepatitis C virus in two groups of population, hemodialysis patients and blood donors by different diagnostic methods and also to identify the dominant genotype of this virus in our area. All the samples that collected from blood donors and hemodialysis patients were tested by Rapid test and ELISA technique to detect the positive cases of hepatitis C virus. Only the positive samples were tested by real time PCR for genotyping. 75 hemodialysis patients 27 were infected with HCV and only 13 were blood donors from total number 4560. The total number of positive HCV were 40 samples, all the 40 cases were positive by Rapid and ELISA tests while only 38 were positive by real time PCR. The genotypes of this virus within our cases include genotype 4 (26) and genotype 1a (12). This study concludes that rapid test, ELISA and real time PCR are highly sensitive in detection of this virus. The dominant genotype in our area is genotype 4.
