In today’s episode, we’re focusing on a crucial yet often under-discussed subject: the role of vaccination in chronic kidney disease. Patients with CKD are at a markedly increased risk of infections, a vulnerability compounded by factors like impaired immunity, dialysis, and immunosuppressive therapies. Vaccination, therefore, plays an indispensable role in safeguarding their health. In this episode, we’ll examine which vaccines are recommended for CKD patients. We’ll also address the challenges of ensuring vaccine efficacy in immunosuppressed patients and explore how vaccination practices should be tailored across various CKD stages. Our guest is Nina Babel from the University of Bochum in Germany, a renowned expert on this subject.
