Immune Response to Influenza Vaccine in ESRD Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Nephrology
Immunology
Interventions
Biological: Influenza vaccine
Registration Number
NCT04122222
Lead Sponsor
Mahidol University
Brief Summary

On-line hemodiafiltration (HDF) clears more azotaemic toxins compared to high-flux hemodialysis (HD). The response to vaccination is impaired in dialysis patients. We aimed to study the immune responses to influenza vaccine in dialysis patients treated by HDF vs. HD.
