Abstract
⺠Patients suffering from chronic kidney disease respond poorly to hepatitis B vaccination. ⺠Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in these patients. ⺠Low vitamin D levels are associated with failure to achieve seroconversion. ⺠Antibodies were lower in vitamin D deficient patients. ⺠Treatment with calcitriol is not associated with a better response to vaccination.
