MO1000: Differences in Humoral Response After SARS-COV-2 Vaccination Between Kidney Transplant and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: What is the Impact of Immunosuppression?
Abstract:BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Patients on renal replacement therapy are reported to have altered humoral immunity, which is demonstrated by a decreased response to different vaccines. However, in kidney transplant (KT) patients, vaccines are even less immunogenic in terms of antibody response. Therefore, these patients have a higher risk of critical infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which makes them eligible for early vaccination. The aim of this study was to … Show more
