Abstract

Children with renal disorders including chronic glomerular conditions, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, and kidney transplant recipients have a higher infection risk. This review covers infection prevention in this population, with a focus on vaccination strategies.

Keywords

children - infection prevention - immunization - vaccines - chronic kidney disease - dialysis - kidney transplant - nephrotic syndrome - eculizumab
