Effectiveness of Combined Hemodialysis-Hemadsorption Therapy in Improving Uremic Toxin Clearance, Inflammatory Markers, and Symptoms in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients.

Introduction: Combined hemodialysis (HD) and hemadsorption (HA) therapy has shown the highest clearance rates for middle and large-sized uremic toxin molecules and reduced mortality rates among maintenance HD (MHD) patients. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of combined HD and HA therapy in patients undergoing MHD.

Methods: Forty patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were divided into three groups: HD only (14), HD + biweekly HA (14), and HD + weekly HA (12).

Immunogenicity and safety of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in haemodialysis patients: a prospective cohort study.

End-stage renal disease patients on haemodialysis (HD) have been largely excluded from SARS-CoV-2 vaccine trials due to safety reasons and shown to mount lower responses to vaccination. This study aims to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine among HD patients compared to healthy controls. All subjects who received the primary inactivated COVID-19 vaccination had their blood samples tested 21 days after the second dose.

Immunogenicity and safety of COVID-19 BNT162b2 booster vaccine in end-stage kidney disease patients receiving haemodialysis in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: a cohort prospective study.

Background: A significant decrease in antibody titres several months after COVID-19 primary vaccination in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients receiving maintenance haemodialysis has recently been reported. The waning in antibody titres has led to the recommendations for a booster dose to increase the antibody titres after vaccination. Consequently, it is crucial to analyse the long-term humoral immune responses after COVID-19 primary vaccination and assess the immunogenicity and safety of booster doses in haemodialysis (HD) patients.

Outcomes of vaccinations against respiratory diseases in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Due to the nature of the disease, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients suffer from dysfunction of the adaptive immune system, which leads to a poorer response to vaccination. Accordingly, it is crucial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of management strategies, including vaccinations, which could potentially reduce the risk of respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia, influenza, or COVID-19, and its associated outcomes.
