The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that has become a global public health concern. It causes mild to severe respiratory illness with some flu-like symptoms.
The impact of COVID-19 on patients with pre-existing kidney impairment, including those with chronic kidney disease, kidney transplant recipients, and individuals on hemodialysis is emerging.
COVID-19 increases morbidity and mortality among people already diagnosed with kidney disorders due to the multiple organ injuries caused by COVID-19 infection.
Emerging evidence also indicates that kidney complications are frequent in patients with COVID-19, with COVID-19 disease potentially presenting unique features in individuals on chronic dialysis and kidney transplant recipients.
There is a need to synthesize the impact of COVID-19 for physicians and health care professionals to continue effective management of such patients to reduce the COVID-19 disease burden among these patients.
This research topic will address the Effect of COVID-19 on the Diagnosis, Management strategies, and Outcomes of patients with Kidney disorders
