Abstract

Since the first cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19) were identified on December 12^th , 2019, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has dramatically spread worldwide becoming a pandemic with devastating consequences¹ . This exponential increase in COVID-19 cases also includes vulnerable populations such as kidney recipients^2,3 . Although scarce, preliminary information in this population suggests a serious course with a mortality of up to 25%⁴ . Herein, we report the outcomes of a cohort of 33 kidney transplant recipients from a single center focusing on hospital and intensive care (ICU) admission and mortality.
