Abstract:
Patients with chronic nephropathies were particularly affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. These patients suffer from multiple comorbidities and some specific treatments may put them at risk towards severe complications. Hemodialysis patients necessitating an in-center hemodialysis maintenance regimen were unable to be confined and despite strict prevention protocols suffered high infection and subsequently fatality rates. Renal transplant patients, because of their immunosuppressive drugs, also represent an at-risk population of acquiring the SARS-CoV-2.
