Abstract
In march 2020 Covid 19 was declared as a pandemic by World Health Organisation. The marked risk group were older patients and patients with comorbidity such as hypertension, DM, obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic kidney disease. Patients on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients are among highest risk groups to be infected with Corona virus. Since the very beginning, Corona virus pandemic have great impact on the transplant program worldwide. There are recommendations for kidney transplant professionals that suggest the prioritization of patients for kidney transplantation. We present an expanded criteria donor, and recipient with multiple vascular access problems as an indication for kidney transplantation. In the early posttransplant period vascular problems with implication on the graft function were diagnosed and surgically treated, and cholecystectomy was performed due to an uncalculous cholecystitis. Unexpected Corona virus infection early post transplantation occurred as a devastating complication for our kidney transplant recipient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
