Coronavirus

Coronavirus

Coronaviruses, including the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), are enveloped viruses characterized by their single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome and helical nucleocapsid structure. The hallmark of these viruses is their club-shaped spike (S) glycoproteins that protrude from the viral envelope, facilitating attachment to host cells. Typically, coronaviruses infect the upper respiratory tract, often causing mild or asymptomatic disease. However, certain strains like...

Rapid Identification of Pathogens

Rapid Identification of Pathogens

MALDI-TOF MS has transformed clinical microbiology by offering a rapid and reliable method for pathogen identification. The traditional approach to microbial identification typically involves time-consuming culture techniques and biochemical tests, which can delay the initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. MALDI-TOF MS avoids these delays by using characteristic ribosomal protein mass patterns of microbial cells, enabling accurate species-level identification within minutes.Principle...

Infectious Diseases
Public Health

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges to kidney disease patient care.
A need for timely, evidence-informed advice for managing kidney patients during the pandemic emerged.
The Canadian Society of Nephrology formed a COVID-19 Rapid Response Team to address these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the methodological approach for developing interim guidance for kidney care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
To outline strategies for addressing clinical and operational aspects of care for various kidney patient groups.
To ensure the renal community receives up-to-date, evidence-informed advice.

Main Methods:

Rapid review methods were employed due to limited published evidence and tight timelines.
Guidance documents were developed for priority areas identified by the COVID-19 Rapid Response Team.
The approach focused on clinical and operational aspects of care for diverse kidney patient populations.

Main Results:

Interim guidance documents were created for patients undergoing in-center hemodialysis, home dialysis, and those with advanced chronic kidney disease.
Guidance also addressed care for patients with glomerulonephritis and acute kidney injury.
A methodological framework for rapid evidence synthesis and guidance development was established.

Conclusions:

Rapid review methods provide a feasible approach to delivering interim guidance during public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.
The developed guidance aims to support optimal kidney care practices in the evolving COVID-19 landscape.
Ongoing engagement with the renal community is crucial for adapting guidance as new information emerges.
