Patients after organ transplantation with COVID-19 have a higher risk of morbidity and mortality than patients in the general population. There are single studies that assess eyes patients, but there no such on transplant recipients. The purpose this study was to comprehensively examine kidney recipients (KTR) recovery from mild moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection.A total 40 KTR 20 without clinical immunological symptoms infection as control group qualified for cross-sectional study. A 76 38 an average 7 weeks 36 18 were studied. participants underwent ophthalmological examination, retinal choroid vessels nerves assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography.We found lower vessel density (VD) deep capillary plexus central part retina (VD central) group. Women had significantly VD (15.51 vs. 18.91, p < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis confirmed independent, negative impact (p 0.001) female gender = central.The results our changes microcirculation induced may affect KTR.

The group most at risk of death due to COVID-19 are patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). study aims describe the clinical course early phase SARS-CoV-2 infection and find predictors development severe pneumonia in this population. This is a case series HD nonvaccinated with stratified into mild according chest computed tomography (CT) total severity score (TSS) admission. Epidemiological, demographic, clinical, laboratory data were obtained from hospital records. 85 mean age 69.74 (13.19) years dialysis vintage 38 (14-84) months included. On admission, 29.14% had no symptoms, 70.59% reported fatigue followed by fever-44.71%, shortness breath-40.0%, cough-30.59%. 20% finger oxygen saturation less than 90%. In 28.81% patients, pulmonary parenchyma was involved least 25%. factors associated include fever, low arterial partial pressure oxygen, increased C-reactive protein ferritin serum levels, blood count lymphocytes as well chronic treatment angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors; while active vitamin D pneumonia. conclusion, even though nearly one-third completely asymptomatic, remaining usually only single large percentage them extensive inflammatory changes diagnosis infection. We identified potential pneumonia, which might help individualize pharmacological improve outcomes.

Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis are particularly vulnerable to severe COVID-19 as a result of older age and multimorbidities. Objectives: Data still limited there no published data on mortality in hemodialyzed patients Poland, particular when vaccines became available. We assessed the epidemiologic clinical laboratory-confirmed 2019, 2020, 2021, well vaccination rate 2021. Methods: Retrospectively collected from 73 Fresenius Nephrocare Poland centers one public unit were analyzed. Results: In was 96%. The unadjusted (number deaths divided by number patients) 2019 18.8%, while (after exclusion COVID-related deaths) 2020 20.8%, 2021 16.22%. prevalence cardiovascular almost identical (41.4% vs. 41.2%, respectively), figures increased slightly 44.1%. sudden cardiac higher than (19.6% 17.3%, respectively) consequently decreased (10.0%), strokes (6.2% 5.4%, 3.31% 2021), whereas due gastrointestinal tract diseases lower (2.5% 3.2%, 2.25% diabetes complications (0.5% 1.3%, 0.5% sepsis (5.1% 6.3%, 8.79% respiratory failure (1.2 1.6%, 2.83% pneumonia (1.4% 2.0%, 0.82%).

Conclusions: HD despite very high up non-COVID-19 may be possibility hospitalization dedicated care during pandemic.
