Background: Point of care is laboratory testing conducted close to the site of the patient. Point of care assessment is essential to detect and treat the hepatitis C virus in a single visit. The potential use of Genedrive extends to remote areas and key populations Therefore, there is a need for a simple, and cost-effective examination of methods, such as Genedrive. Genedrive is a rapid and low-cost diagnostic tool for the identification and treatment selection of infectious diseases. The World Health Organization targets to eliminate hepatitis by 2030, which decreases infections by 90%, and decreases deaths by 65%. Point of care could play a significant role in contributing to the elimination of hepatitis C. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on hemodialysis are among the population at risk of hepatitis C due to nosocomial transmission. This study aimed to assess the role of Genedrive in measuring hepatitis C in chronic hepatitis C patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. There were 64 CKD on Hd patients in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital tested by Genedrive. ROC analysis was conducted to assess significant hepatitis C among chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Results: The calculated detection limit of Genedrive was 3.1x103 IU/mL. Genedrive HCV assay showed 90.6% sensitivity, 96.8% specificity, 92% negative predictive value, and 97% positive predictive value to detect HCV, 10.36 positive likelihood ratio, and 0.09 negative likelihood ratio. Conclusion: Genedrive could be a simple and reliable point of care method to detect hepatitis C with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. © 2024, Indonesian Society of Internal Medicine.
