Overview
Renal transplant patients are under immunosuppression to modulate the immune response to graft. Moreover these patients have various underlying chronic kidney diseases and other co-morbidities such as diabetes and hypertension, which can impact the results in COVID-19 infection. Hence these patients are at a higher risk of developing COVID-19 associated complications.[1] The clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of COVID-19 infection may be different from the general population.[2] It is believed that any transplant recipient presented to the infection would result in a high level of cases; however the risk of donor to recipient transmission is unknown. The chances of a donor to recipient infection might be affected by exposure of the donor, infectivity of the the donor during the incubation period and the degree of viremia as well as the viability of virus in specific organ system.In this manner, in spite of the conceivable negative outcomes, temporary interruption of kidney transplantation might be fundamental in regions where the rate of infection is high.[3]
Historical Perspectives
The etiological agent involved is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), first detected in Wuhan, China. On March 12, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic.[4] The earlier SARS epidemic of Hong Kong is known to affect both pediatric and adult renal transplant patients where the severity of disease in adult patients was more than that in pediatric patients[5] The first reported case of COVID-19 infection in renal transplant patient, was a 52‐year‐old man who received living‐related kidney transplantation 12 years for chronic glomerulonephritis, in Wuhan, China.He made a successful recovery and was discharged on day 13.[2]
