Comparing Humoral and Cellular Adaptive Immunity during Convalescent Phase of COVID-19 in Hemodialysis Patients and Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background. It is still unclear whether COVID-19 convalescent kidney transplant recipients (KTR) and hemodialysis (HD) patients can develop anti-SARS-CoV-2 adaptive immunity. The aim was to characterize and compare the immune response to the virus in HD patients and KTR. Methods. The study included...

The aim was to characterize and compare the immune response to the virus in HD patients and KTR. Methods. The study included 26 HD patients and 54 KTR—both convalescent (14 HD, 25 KTR) and unexposed.
