Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Kidney transplant recipients may be at a uniquely increased risk of serious complications from COVID-19 compared to the general population because of their chronically immunosuppressed state. This Special Issue will describe the epidemiology of COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients. Manifestations, appropriate management, and clinical outcomes based on the available literature. In addition, we should consider the impact of COVID-19 on kidney transplant activity and transplant volume.
