Normal response to anti-HBV vaccination in children with chronic renal insufficiency

A La Manna et al. Child Nephrol Urol. 1991.

Abstract

Anti-HBV vaccination was performed in 17 children with chronic renal insufficiency on conservative treatment and in 29 control children. The response to vaccination was satisfactory in patients as well as in the control group and no significant difference was found between the two groups as to percentage of responders and to the titre of HBsAb produced. It appears reasonable to vaccinate all patients with chronic renal insufficiency before they reach end-stage renal disease in areas with high prevalence of HBV infection.
