Infection is the second leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Adequate humoral (antibody) and cellular (T cell-driven) immunity are required to minimize pathogen entry and promote pathogen clearance to enable infection control. Vaccination can generate cellular and humoral immunity against specific pathogens and is used to prevent many life-threatening infectious diseases. However, vaccination efficacy is diminished in patients with CKD. Premature ageing of the immune system and chronic systemic low-grade inflammation are the main causes of immune alteration in these patients. In the case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 can have considerable detrimental effects in patients with CKD, especially in those with kidney failure. COVID-19 prevention through successful vaccination is therefore paramount in this vulnerable population. Although patients receiving dialysis have seroconversion rates comparable to those of patients with normal kidney function, most kidney transplant recipients could not generate humoral immunity after two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Importantly, some patients who were not able to produce antibodies still had a detectable vaccine-specific T cell response, which might be sufficient to prevent severe COVID-19. Correlates of protection against SARS-CoV-2 have not been established for patients with kidney failure, but they are urgently needed to enable personalized vaccination regimens. Effective vaccination strategies are crucial to mitigate the high risk of infection-associated morbidity and mortality in patients with kidney failure. Here, the authors examine vaccine-induced immunity in these patients, in particular their responses to COVID-19 vaccination, in the context of the immune impairment induced by kidney dysfunction and the use of immunosuppressive medications. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have diminished vaccination responses owing to CKD-associated premature ageing of the immune system and chronic systemic low-grade inflammation. Both humoral (B cell-driven) and cellular (T cell-driven) immunity are generally required to control infections. Antibodies are particularly efficient in preventing viral infections, whereas T cells have a key role in viral clearance and help to prevent severe disease. T cell responses against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can be detected even in patients who are not able to produce antibody owing to primary or secondary immune deficiency. The glomerular filtration rate correlates with the severity of COVID-19 — among patients with kidney disease, the worst COVID-19 outcomes are observed in patients with kidney failure. Correlates of protection against SARS-CoV-2 have not been established for patients with kidney failure but they are urgently needed to enable personalized vaccination regimens. Patients with absent or low responses should be identified for targeted additional booster doses or pre-emptive therapy with monoclonal antibodies. Vaccine responses in patients with kidney failure might also be increased through the use of higher vaccine doses, adjuvants or intradermal vaccination; temporary reduction of immunosuppressive drugs before vaccination might also be feasible.
