Hepatitis B vaccination in dialysis centres: advantages and limits
Nephron.

Abstract
A review is presented on the results achieved in HBV immunization of hemodialysis patients with aluminum-adsorbed, subunit plasma-derived and yeast-derived vaccines. The main host-related and immunization-related causes of low response are discussed. Various possibility to improve the vaccine performance through appropriate dosage and schedule, as well as immunopotentiating procedures are reported.
