The serum zinc concentration seems unlikely to be an important factor influencing immune response to hepatitis B vaccination in hemodialysis patients, on the basis of the following results: the absence of statistically significant differences in serum zinc concentrations between patients with absence of post-vaccine seroconversion or non protective seroconversion and patients with excellent seroconversion (anti-HBs concentrations over 124.6 mUI/ml); the association of protective antibody responses in 50% of non responders after an additional dose of HBV vaccine, without preliminary corrections of zinc balance.
