“…Considering the hazardous context of SARS-CoV-2 infection, in order to attenuate the spread of the virus in CKD patients undergoing dialysis, a series of safety measures were adopted by hemodialysis centers and clinics to efficiently operate throughout the pandemic (Table 2) [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] . Nonetheless, Corbett et al in a cohort study evaluating the epidemiology of COVID-19 in dialysis centers in the United Kingdom revealed that COVID-19 caused an abrupt epidemic in patients and healthcare workers.…”

Kidney impairment in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with increased in-hospital mortality and worse clinical evolution, raising concerns towards patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). From a pathophysiological perspective, COVID-19 is characterized by an overproduction of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha), causing systemic inflammation and hypercoagulability, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Emerging data postulate that CKD under conservative treatment or renal replacement therapy (RRT) is an important risk factor for disease severity and higher in-hospital mortality amongst patients with COVID-19. Regarding RAAS blockers therapy during the pandemic, the initial assumption of a potential increase and deleterious impact in infectivity, disease severity, and mortality was not evidenced in medical literature. Moreover, the challenge of implementing social distancing in patients requiring dialysis during the pandemic prompted national and international societies to publish recommendations regarding the adoption of safety measures to reduce transmission risk and optimize dialysis treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Current data convey that kidney transplant recipients are more vulnerable to more severe infection. Thus, we provide a comprehensive review of the clinical outcomes and prognosis of patients with CKD under conservative treatment and dialysis, and kidney transplant recipients and COVID-19 infection.

“…The Brazilian Society of Nephrology issued COVID-19 management recommendations in May 2020. 45 In a nationwide survey through June 2020, 12% of dialysis staff had confirmed or suspected COVID-19, with two reported deaths 11 . Cases and case fatality ratios among dialysis patients were much higher than in the general population, and higher still in regions such as the northeast and north with lower economic resources.…”

Objetivo: Identificar as adaptações ocorridas nos centros de hemodiálise para prevenção da infecção pelo novo coronavírus. Metodologia: revisão integrativa com 15 estudos eleitos para análise, levantados nas bases da Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), na Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MEDLINE) e no Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBECS). Resultados: Principais adequações implantadas: intensificação das orientações da lavagem das mãos, uso de máscara pelos pacientes durante transporte e na sala de espera, uso de EPIs para os profissionais que estão em contato direto com os pacientes, rodízio nos turnos de diálise e distanciamento dos equipamentos. Conclusão: O estudo abordou um leque de adequações relevantes nos centros de hemodiálise, com ênfase na intensificação das medidas de biossegurança padrão e específicas para a prevenção do novo coronavírus. As adequações nas rotinas dos serviços são imprescindíveis para a continuidade do tratamento com segurança.
