Recomendaciones de la asociación colombiana de nefrología en trasplante renal durante la pandemia por coronavirus (covid-19)

Abstract

The Colombian Association of Nephrology (ASOCOLNEF) formed a working group for the development of recommendations, by consensus of experts regarding management of kidney transplantation during the pandemic. These recommendations are addressed to health personnel at the national level (Colombia), and are prepared based on international guidelines and reports in the literature of kidney transplant patients with COVID infection 19. Most of the recommendations cannot be assigned a level of evidence, due to the little information available on the behavior of this disease in the transplanted population. Due to the growth dynamics of the pandemic worldwide and in Colombia, and the publication of new evidence regarding clinical behavior and management in the transplanted population, this document may have subsequent updates Keywords: COVID 19, SARS-Cov 2, Coronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Kidney transplantation, renal transplantation, Kidney grafting.
