COVID-19 is associated with affectations in the nutritional status and biomarkers in hemodialysis patients. In this study vaccines have demonstrated a protective effect against the clinical consequences of COVID. However, they have shown limitations in preventing the deterioration of nutritional status after infection. The results highlight the importance of promoting the vaccination in these patients as well as incorporating nutritional assessment before, during and after the infection.
