Background
Vaccination of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney transplants (KTs) may achieve a less robust immune response. Understanding such immune responses is crucial for guiding current and future vaccine dosing strategies.
Methods
This prospective, observational study estimated the immunogenicity of humoral and cellular responses of two SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in different patient groups with CKD compared to controls. Secondary outcomes were adverse events after vaccination and the incidence of COVID-19 breakthrough infection, including illness severity.
Results
In total, 212 patients received ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (89.62%) or inactivated vaccines (10.38%). The antibody response against the S protein was analyzed at T0 (before the first injection), T1 (before the second injection), and T2 (12 weeks after the second injection). Seroconversion occurred in 92.31% of controls at T2 and in 100% of CKD, 42.86% of KT, 80.18% of hemodialysis (HD), and 0% of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients at T2 of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. Neutralizing antibody levels were above the protective level at T2 in each group.The KT group had the lowest neutralizing antibody and IFNγ .Blood groups O and vaccine type were associated with good immunological responses. After the first dose, 14 individuals(6.6%) out of the total population experienced breakthrough COVID-19 infection.
Conclusion
Immunity in patients with CKD and HD after vaccination was strong and comparable to that of healthy controls. Our study suggests that a single dose of the vaccine is not efficacious and delays may result in breakthrough infection.Some blood group and type of vaccine can affect the immune response.
