Hepatitis B virus infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients on dialysis, that are a target for vaccination. However, due to the poor immunogenicity of all types of vaccines in dialysis patients the collaboration between general practitioners, nephrologists and vaccination centers is essential to introduce the best preventive measures and to identify and immunize patients with chronic kidney disease before they enter dialysis.

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients on dialysis, that are a target for vaccination. However, due to the poor immunogenicity of all types of vaccines in dialysis patients the collaboration between general practitioners, nephrologists and vaccination centers is essential to introduce the best preventive measures and to identify and immunize patients with chronic kidney disease before they enter dialysis.
