COVID Vaccine Immunity in Kidney Transplant Recipients

October 25, 2022 updated by: Graham C. Towns, University of Alabama at Birmingham
50 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients whom have had at least 2 doses of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine, and undergoing transplantation at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) will be enrolled. The third mRNA vaccine will be given 3 months post transplant, and the 4th mRNA vaccine will be given 3 months following this. Blood samples will be collected and shipped to Viracor on day of transplant, and at months 1, 3, 4, 6, and 12 for spike protein and t cell assay.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

50 ESRD patients on peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis or not on immunosuppression, no prior transplant, no known history of COVID infection, whom have had at least 2 doses of mRNA vaccine, and undergoing transplantation at UAB will be enrolled, after signing the informed consent. The third mRNA vaccine will be given 3 months post transplant, and the 4th mRNA vaccine will be given 3 months following this. Blood samples will be collected and shipped to Viracor on day of transplant, and at months 1, 3, 4, 6, and 12 for spike protein and t cell assay.
