Summary: | As one of the populations at high risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) require rapid and effective development of hepatitis B surface antibodies (anti-HBs).
The short-course, high-dose regimen of hepatitis B vaccination rapidly induced comparable immunological responses to the routine regimen, achieving a seroconversion rate of 88.5%, a high-response rate of 64.1%, and anti-HBs geometric mean concentrations of 824.1 mIU/mL.
The short-course, high-dose regimen represents an effective rapid immunization strategy for CKD patients, particularly when administered prior to immunosuppressive therapy. This study provides compelling evidence for optimizing immunization protocols in the CKD population. |
