肾移植患者存在长期免疫抑制而且易罹患合并症,因此这些患者似乎存在患危重COVID-19的高风险1。2020年3月16日至4月1日,在Montefiore医学中心,我们诊治了36例连续的COVID-19检测结果呈阳性的成人肾移植患者。其中26例患者(72%)为男性,中位年龄为60岁(范围为32~77岁)。14例患者(39%)是黑种人,15例(42%)是西班牙裔。27例患者(75%)接受了尸体供肾。34例(94%)患有高血压,25例(69%)患有糖尿病,13例(36%)有吸烟史或目前吸烟,6例(17%)患有心脏病。35例(97%)服用他克莫司,34例(94%)接受泼尼松治疗,31例(86%)接受霉酚酸酯或霉酚酸治疗。
