Core Tip	Due to immunesuppresive effect of uremia and dialyser membranes, chronicity of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is frequently observed. Rates of seroconversion induced by HBV vaccine is diminished in chronic kidney disease patients when compared to the general population, which gradually decrease as renal functions deteriorates. Efficient dialysis is a major determinant of response to HBV vaccination. In contrast to three doses of 20 μg HBV vaccine for the general population, patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis usually require four doses of 40 μg HBV vaccine.
