| Core Tip |
Dialysis initiation is a high-risk checkpoint where preventable infections cluster early, yet vaccination and screening are commonly missed. In an incident hemodialysis cohort from North India, major gaps in adult immunization against hepatitis B, pneumococcus, and influenza were evident at dialysis entry, alongside a substantial burden of tuberculosis, often extrapulmonary. Importantly, vaccine uptake tracked with health-system engagement - prior nephrology follow-up, transplant evaluation, and planned vascular access - rather than patient factors alone, reframing “poor vaccine response” as a systems-delivery problem. Embedding vaccination assessment, serologic monitoring, and tuberculosis screening into pre-dialysis and dialysis-start workflows can operationalize preventive nephrology and reduce avoidable morbidity. |
