COVID-19: a novel menace for the practice of nephrology and how to manage it with minor devastation?

Abstract: Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) became a nightmare for the world since December 2019. Although the disease affects people at any age; elderly patients and those with comorbidities were more affected. Everyday nephrologists see patients with hypertension, chronic kidney disease, maintenance dialysis treatment or kidney transplant who are also high-risk groups for the COVID-19.

“…A análise de sequenciamento de RNA de célula única mostrou que os receptores ECA2 estavam localizados nas células alveolares tipo 2, células do miocárdio, células dos túbulos proximais dos rins, células epiteliais do esôfago e células uroepiteliais da bexiga. Desta forma, pulmões, coração, esôfago, rim, bexiga ou íleo tornam-se os órgãos-alvo do COVID-19 (Ulu et al, 2020;.…”

“…A doença ocasionada pelo novo coronavírus recebeu o nome de COVID-19 e se espalhou rapidamente pela China e países em todo o mundo. Diante disso, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarou oficialmente a pandemia como uma emergência de saúde pública de interesse internacional em 30 de janeiro de 2020 (Cui et al, 2020;Ulu et al, 2020;Na et al, 2020). O principal modo de infecção é a transmissão inter-humana por meio da pulverização de gotículas de um indivíduo infectado através da tosse ou espirro (D-Marco et al, 2020).…”

“…There are different strategies determined according to the patient’s clinical condition and the approach of the transplantation centers. The most common arrangements are to decrease or withhold antiproliferative therapy, decrease CNI to a minimum dose and stop it if there is any infection progression, and to continue steroids at the usual dose or increase it if other immunosuppressive drugs were stopped [ 4 ]. In this review, we discuss 2 important drug groups – CNI and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORi) – in kidney transplant patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”
