The objective of this study was to investigate effects of vaccination against hepatits B virus in inducing seroconversion in patients with chronic renal failure and different levels of kidney function. 150 patients including 50 patients with GFR between 40 and 60, 50 patients with GFR 15 and 40, and 50 patients with GFR less than 15 and also 150 healthy controls were included in the study. Three doses of recombinant HBS vaccines were injected intramuscularly at month 0, 3, and 6 with doses of 40 micrograms in intervention and 20 micrograms in control group. HBS Ab titers were measured and incidence of seroconversion was compared between groups.
