Aim: To compare the efficacy of double dose hepatitis B vaccine with conventional dose hepatitis B vaccine in hepatitis C related chronic liver disease patients. Study design: Interventional study (randomized controlled clinical trial) Place and duration of study: Outpatient Department of Medicine, Services Hospital, Lahore from 12th August 2019 to 12th February 2020. Methodology: One hundred and ten patients of both male and female age group 30 to 70 years diagnosed with chronic liver disease on the basis of changed liver echo texture on ultrasound were included. Patients were divided into two groups, each group having 55 patients. One group was given double dose (2ml) while the other was given conventional dose (1ml). Both groups were compared for efficacy in terms of prevention of CLD. Results: The mean age of conventional group was 33.8±9.6 years while 33.7±9.1 years in the double dose group with male predominance (69.10%). Hypo-responsiveness was detected in 23.6% and 32.7% of conventional low dose group and double dose group respectively. There were gender variations in mean Anti-HBs levels. It was 129.80±70.53 mIU/mL in males and 113.26±75.57 mIU/mL in female patients (P= 0.039). Mean titers of anti-HBs in conventional dose group and high dose group were 127.82±67.59 mIU/mL and 121.56±77.00 mIU/mL, respectively (P= 0.52). Conclusion: Double dose hepatitis B vaccination in chronic HCV infected patients efficiently increases the response rate and hence protection against chronic hepatitis B. Keywords: Double dose hepatitis B vaccine, conventional hepatitis B vaccine, chronic hepatitis.

Introduction: Hemodialysis patients usually demonstrate lower immune response to hepatitis B vaccine compared to non-uremic population. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the level of response to hepatitis B vaccination in patients under hemodialysis. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on 172 live patients receiving hemodialysis in the dialysis department of Buali hospital in Ardabil, Iran (2015). To analyze their response to the vaccine, their vaccination titers were investigated. Before vaccination, the serological markers of hepatitis B and C were checked in all of the patients. Those for whom HBsAg and HBsAb results were negative and had not received the vaccinein the past entered the study. The patients received a double dose of hepatitis B vaccine at 0, 1, and 6 months after the beginning of dialysis. The response to the vaccine was investigated by measuring the level of patients’ hepatitis B antibody one month after receiving the last dose of the vaccine. Results: Seventy patients (40% of the total) displayed a proper immune response to the vaccine, 34 patients (19.8%) were without, and 68 patients (39.5%) were identified to have poor response. The results of Pearson’s correlation test indicated that there is a negative correlation between the patients’ age and their response to the vaccine. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that higher age is one of the factors that reduce the effectiveness of hepatitis B vaccine in hemodialysis patients.
