What this Trial Is About

COVID-19 is a highly contagious viral illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, with main symptoms including fever and respiratory problems. Patients with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, lung diseases, chronic kidney disease, and weakened immune systems may experience worse outcomes. Kidney transplant recipients use immunosuppressive drugs to prevent organ rejection, which may change how COVID-19 affects them. Currently, limited information exists about COVID-19 outcomes in kidney transplant patients, so this study aims to detail their clinical and laboratory features and outcomes in a national multicenter group. The study observes kidney transplant recipients of any follow-up period who test positive for COVID-19 through viral load, antigen, or antibody tests. It includes both outpatients and hospitalized patients across all ages, including adults and children. The study does not involve treatments but collects data to understand the condition's impact on this population. Participants will have their clinical data collected regarding the need for mechanical ventilation, dialysis, ICU admission, and outcomes such as death or graft loss up to three months after COVID-19 resolution. Hospitalization duration is also tracked until discharge. The study follows patients for up to three months after recovery to monitor health outcomes and organ function.
