Pneumococcal Vaccination in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Kidney Transplant Recipients
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) denotes structural and/or functional impairment of kidneys that persists for more than three months (1). CKD is arbitrarily divided into stages 1 to 5 based on the level of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), with an invariable need for dialysis and transplantation in stage 5. In poorer regions of the world including Kashmir, not many patients live long enough to go to later stages of CKD as they eventually die in earlier stages (3/4) due to cardiovascular diseases and infections 2,3.
