COVID-19 Infection in Renal Transplant Recipients at Dubai Hospital: Incidence, Clinical Profile, and Outcome
Background: Renal transplant recipients are at risk to acquire COVID-19 infection quite frequently, owing to their immunocompromized state. Nevertheless, data on the effects of this infection on patients and graft function are sparse from the Arab world. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in Dubai Hospital from April 1, 2020, to August 1, 2021. We analyzed 42 COVID-19-positive renal transplant recipients’ data. Information concerning demographics, comorbidities, medications, clinical and laboratory data, and outcomes was collected from the electronic medical records. Univariate analyses were performed to determine the association of acute kidney injury (AKI) with in-hospital mortality. Results: Median age was 47.46 (17–66) years; about 59% of patients were male. Eleven (26.19%) patients developed AKI during hospitalization. On admission high ferritin, C-reactive protein, creatinine, and low absolute lymphocyte count are identified risk factors for in-hospital AKI. Seven (21.87%) patients had their calcineurin inhibitor levels touch a toxic peak possibly due to an interaction with antivirals. Mortality was 14.28%, and the same number of patients required mechanical ventilation during treatment. Conclusion: A significant number of renal transplant recipients suffered from AKI during COVID-19 infection, and the mortality rate in this study population was less than in studies from other countries in the region. More insights are required to manage this infection in renal transplant recipients.
