Can kidney patients get a flu shot?

Patients with kidney disease can get the flu vaccine if their condition is stable. However, if they are in the acute stage of illness, they are not suitable for influenza vaccination. Patients with kidney disease can get the flu vaccine if their condition is relatively stable, there is no renal function damage, no positive urine protein or urine occult blood, and they are not taking special oral medication. If the patient with kidney disease is in the acute stage of the disease, for example, kidney function, there is more serious damage or a large amount of proteinuria. If there is high blood pressure, swelling of the limbs, these phenomena are not suitable for vaccination. Patients with kidney disease are susceptible to influenza virus because of their low immunity, and respiratory infections can be prevented by influenza vaccination. As to whether the vaccine can be injected, it is necessary to be under the guidance of a specialist.
