Identifying and optimizing patient care models in dialysis programs couldn’t be more important given the increasing number of people requiring dialysis. Among the major influencers of success: pre-dialysis care and length of the patient-provider encounter bit.ly/3Xselrp

Patients with kidney disease have lower immune response to vaccination. This study found in patients with CKD third dose COVID-19 mRNA vaccination with mRNA-1273 elicited higher SARS-CoV-2 anti-RBD levels in comparison to BNT162b2 over a 6-month period bit.ly/CJASN0328
