Abstract
Keywords: COVID-19; living-donor kidney transplantation; nosocomial transmission; organ transplantation; safety EN COVID-19 living-donor kidney transplantation nosocomial transmission organ transplantation safety 1 2 2 09/22/21 20210801 NES 210801 Recently, Akalin et al1 reported a 28% mortality among kidney transplant patients infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A kidney biopsy showed diffuse proximal tubule injury with the loss of brush border suggesting a recently described SARS-CoV-2 kidney injury,5 associated with a borderline rejection (Figure 1B). During the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 outbreak, kidney transplant programs were suspended in several countries.2 Although the pandemic is still ongoing, the stop of lockdown has prompted several transplant centers to restart kidney transplantation programs.
