Sumario: | Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an irreversible change in kidney function and structure with a prevalence of about 9.1% worldwide. Toxins and heavy metal exposure, as well as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, are common causes of CKD. Despite extensive therapeutic options such as renal replacement therapy and renal transplants, most changes in kidney function remain irreversible, causing lifelong morbidity and affecting the quality of life of patients. Increased susceptibility to infections as well as serious complications from influenza, is a major cause of concern in nephrological care. Therefore, it is imperative to consider the protective role of influenza vaccination against seasonal influenza, which can worsen preexisting kidney dysfunction. This commentary explores a possible relationship between the influenza vaccine and patient outcomes in CKD in terms of complications, hospitalization, and possibly prognostic improvements in patient outcomes from CKD. |
