- Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with significant infectious complications leading to adverse health outcomes. This increased susceptibility to infection can be related to the nephropathy itself as observed in nephrotic syndrome, to the treatment especially in situations requiring immunosuppressive drugs or related to dialysis. Despite a less effective response to vaccination, some data emphasize similar benefits from immunization among people with CKD to the general population. However, some situations encountered in nephrology require adaptation of immunization practices. The aim of this review is to provide a synthesis of the existing guidelines for immunization in the field of nephrology., (Copyright © 2018 Société francophone de néphrologie, dialyse et transplantation.
