Immune Response to Influenza Vaccine in ESRD Patients
Study Details
Study Description
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.
