About

This is a multicentric, observational, retrospective study. The primary endpoint of the study is to investigate the humoral immunological response to SARS-Cov-2 vaccination in this population, looking for clinical features predisposing to seroconversion failure.

Secondary endpoints are

• to investigate the appearance of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, despite vaccination, looking for any clinical features predisposing to infection,
• to identify the protective cut-off of antibody titer against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Each study participating center will select all vaccinated patients with immune-mediated renal diseases for whom anti-COVID serology will be available.

Full description

SARS-CoV-2 infection produces a quantifiable immune response. Post-infection immunity consists of a humoral and cell-mediated response, which appears to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 re-infection for at least 6 months in the healthy population. It is reasonable to assume that SARS-COV-2 vaccination may also induce a similar response.

In immunomediated renal disease patients, it is not known what the antibody response is, what factors can potentially influence it, other than immunosuppressive therapy. This information, on the other hand, is useful not only in identifying individuals at risk of infection despite vaccination but it can help to personalize the vaccination schedule.

All patients with immune-mediated renal diseases undergoing the complete vaccination cycle (one or two doses depending on the type of vaccine used) against SARS-CoV-2, and for whom at least one dosage of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are eligible.

After obtaining signed informed consent, personal data, underlying disease, biochemical parameters (including immunoglobulin assay and lymphocyte typing, if available), present or previous comorbidities, immunosuppressive therapies, dosage of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antiSpike and/or antiRBD/Spike antibodies, the date of vaccinations and the type of vaccine performed will be extracted.

The data are all present in the patients' inpatient and/or outpatient medical records, as part of normal clinical management and completely independent of participation in the current clinical trial.

The interview with the patient will show the possible appearance of COVID-19 infection, the date of his diagnosis, confirmed by a positive molecular swab, the degree of severity and the clinical course.
