Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem and is associated with a rise in prevalence, costs, and undesirable outcomes. Patients with chronic renal failure are prone to develop a variety of complications. Immune system impairment is one of the most important and serious complications in these patients. These patients often suffer from immune suppression and are susceptible to a variety of infections. Changes in the immune system predispose patients to develop infections which in turn lead to an increased risk of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases and exacerbate them. In order to prevent infections in these patients it is recommended to vaccinate against common infectious diseases. Of course, the value of educating patients about the risks and of infection and related prevention methods must not be underestimated. It is of great importance to train patients, families, and health care professional who take care of patients, because such trainings can have a major effect on the prevention of infections and other serious complications in CKD patients.
