Abstract:
Patients with chronic kidney disease are immunocompromised and deterioration of kidney function builds up the defect of the cellular and humoral immunity. This makes the patients prone to severe life-threatening infections, and results in less effective vaccination. In addition, frequent hospitalizations, immunosuppressive therapy and renal replacement therapy are important risk factors for infection. The review presents recommendations and the evidence for the efficacy of vaccination in different populations of patients with kidney disease.
