This is prospective cohort study aimed to compare antibody response against SARS-CoV-2 in dialysis patients and non-dialysis-dependent volunteers. The research hypothesis is that dynamic of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 will differ in two groups. To determine whether there is a statistically significant interaction between factors "group" and "time" on the titer of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, a two-way repeated measures ANOVA will be used.
In both groups level of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 will be measured at the Day 1 (10
weeks from the date of first symptoms), Weeks 8 and 16 from the Day 1.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18 years or older
- SARS-CoV-2 infection within 10 weeks prior enrollment, confirmed by PCR or strongly
suspected on computed tomography
- Providing informed consent
