Vaccinations and Kidney Disease
MCCV
advice for kidney disease children
08 August 2003
LONDON
by Health Newswire reporters
Withholding the menogococcal vaccine could be the
best way of dealing with children with kidney disorder nephritic syndrome,
according to top paediatrician.
Paediatric vaccination advice
Anecdotal evidence has linked vaccination with the development
of nephritic syndrome, but this is the first time it has been properly
investigated.
Dr Richard Trompeter, from London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS
Trust, said a 30 per cent increase in relapse of nephritic syndrome
occurred after meningoccocal C vaccination was
introduced for all people under the age of 18 in 1999.
In a cohort of 106 patients, there were 63 relapses during the 12 months
before vaccination and 96 during the equivalent period post-vaccination, he
said. The relapse of nephritic syndrome increased significantly after
administration of MCCV.
Investigators propose that the conjugated vaccine influences processes in
the immune system that could promote production of proteinuria
– meaning protein in the urine, one of the main features of nephritic
syndrome.
In a research letter, published in The Lancet, Dr Trompeter
says, “Our results indicate a causal relation between administration of
MCCV and relapse of nephroic syndrome.
“The risk of relapse after vaccination might be greater for this group of
patients than the risk of meningoccocal C
infection, so the decision to vaccinate should be carefully considered.”
