Abstract
- Background: Chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD 5) populations have peculiar risk for severe Covid-19 infection. Moreover; pediatric data are sparse and lacking. The aim of this study is to report our experience in CKD 5 children treated by hemodialysis (CKD 5D) and CKD 5 children after kidney transplantation (KTR) during one year of Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 57 CKD 5 children with Covid-19 like symptoms during 1 year pandemic was performed. A cohort of 19 confirmed patients (13 CKD 5D and 6 KTR) was analyzed in details as regard clinical, laboratory, radiological criteria, management and their short term outcome. Results: Conclusion: Pediatric patients on regular HD (CKD 5D) are at higher risk and worse outcome of Covid-19 infection than KT recipients (KTR). Pre-existing HTN and shorter duration after KT are potential risk factors. Reversible AGD after KT and CVC related infections in HD patients are additional presenting features of Covid-19 infection.
