Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dialysis doesn't cause any harm to a hepatitis B patient. The matter of concern is that the machine has to be sterilized thoroughly as it can transmit hepB to other person using the same machine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
