Popis: Central Australia is a human T cell leukaemia virus type 1c (HTLV-1c) endemic region which has the highest incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Australia. Factors associated with HTLV-1 seropositivity among Aboriginal Australian adults with CKD receiving haemodialysis (HD) were determined. A retrospective observational study of Aboriginal adults (≥ 18 years) who were receiving regular haemodialysis (HD) at the two main dialysis units in Alice Springs, 1st December 2010 to 31st December 2015. Demographic and clinical data prior to commencing HD were extracted from hospital records from first presentation to Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) to HD commencement and associations were determined using logistic regression. Among 373 patients receiving HD, 133 (35.9%) were HTLV-1 infected. Identifiable factors associated with HTLV-1 status included increasing age, male gender and diabetes prior to HD. The odds of diabetes mellitus was significantly higher among patients with HTLV-1 (aOR 2.76, 95% CI 1.19, 6.39; p=0.017). More than one fifth of participants had an acute kidney injury, the risk of which was increased among those with a previous blood stream infection (aOR 3.02, 95% CI 1.71, 5.34, p
