Please follow the instructions below to input your abstract title.
Abstract titles should be brief and reflect the content of the abstract.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving maintenance
hemodialysis are at high risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and demonstrate
inadequate immune response to vaccination. our objective is to assess the antibody response (anti-HBs levels) of hepatitis B vaccinated
maintenance hemodialysis patients.
A cross-sectional observational analytical study was conducted at marine
city medical College hospital,Chittagong, Bangladesh for 34months of
period among 50 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis for more than 4
months. Demographic and clinical data were collected, and post-vaccination anti-
HBs titers were measured. Patients were classified as high responders (anti-HBs ≥100
mIU/ml), poor responders (anti-HBs ≥10 to <100 mIU/ml) and non-responders (anti-
HBs <10 mIU/ml).
The mean age of participants was 52 ± 10 years; 60% were male. The mean
duration of dialysis was 19.7 ± 7.7 months. The common causes of ESRD were
diabetic nephropathy (58%), glomerulonephritis (24%), hypertension (12%), and
others (6%). Overall, 38% were high responders, 26% poor responders, and 36% non-
responders, seroconversion rate was 66%. Mean anti-HBs titers were 663 ± 463
mIU/ml in high responders, 31.55 ± 23.24 mIU/ml in poor responders, and 3.23 ±
1.98 mIU/ml in non-responders. Age >50 years, presence of diabetes mellitus, and
lower serum albumin were significantly associated with poor or non response (p<0.05).
Development of protective antibody levels after hepatitis B vaccination
in maintenance hemodialysis patients were inadequate.Older age, diabetes and low
serum albumin were important predictors of poor response. Strategies such as
booster dosing and revaccination may improve seroconversion rates in this
population
