SARS-CoV-2 Infection during the Omicron Surge among Patients Receiving Dialysis : The Role of Circulating Receptor-Binding Domain Antibodies and Vaccine Doses

Copyright © 2022 by the American Society of Nephrology..

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether circulating antibody levels conferred protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection among patients receiving dialysis during the Omicron-dominant period.

METHODS: We followed monthly semiquantitative SARS-CoV-2 RBD IgG index values in a randomly selected nationwide cohort of patients receiving dialysis and ascertained SARS-CoV-2 infection during the Omicron-dominant period of December 25, 2021 to January 31, 2022 using electronic health records. We estimated the relative risk for documented SARS-CoV-2 infection by vaccination status and by circulating RBD IgG using a log-binomial model accounting for age, sex, and prior COVID-19.

RESULTS: Among 3576 patients receiving dialysis, 901 (25%) received a third mRNA vaccine dose as of December 24, 2021. Early antibody responses to third doses were robust (median peak index IgG value at assay limit of 150). During the Omicron-dominant period, SARS-CoV-2 infection was documented in 340 (7%) patients. Risk for infection was higher among patients without vaccination and with one to two doses (RR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.6 to 2.8, and RR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0 to 1.8 versus three doses, respectively). Irrespective of the number of vaccine doses, risk for infection was higher among patients with circulating RBD IgG <23 (506 BAU/ml) (RR range, 2.1 to 3.2, 95% CI, 1.3 to 3.4 and 95% CI, 2.2 to 4.5, respectively) compared with RBD IgG ≥23.

CONCLUSIONS: Among patients receiving dialysis, a third mRNA vaccine dose enhanced protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection during the Omicron-dominant period, but a low circulating RBD antibody response was associated with risk for infection independent of the number of vaccine doses. Measuring circulating antibody levels in this high-risk group could inform optimal timing of vaccination and other measures to reduce risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
