Evidence of potent humoral immune activity in COVID-19-infected kidney transplant recipients.

TLDR
The findings indicate that immunosuppressed kidney transplant recipients admitted to the hospital with acute COVID‐19 infection can mount SARS‐CoV‐2‐reactive adaptive immune responses, and raises the possibility that empiric reductions in Immunosuppressive therapy for all kidney transplanted recipients with active CO VID‐19 may not be required.

COVID-19 and Solid Organ Transplantation: A Review Article.

TL;DR: Several aspects of COVID-19 in transplantation are summarized, including the immune response to SARS-CoV-2, Sars-Co V-2 diagnostics, clinical outcomes in SOT recipients and end stage kidney disease patients, transplant activity during the pandemic and treatment options for CO VID-19 disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19 in solid organ transplant recipients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of current literature.

TL;DR: The authors' analysis shows a high incidence of hospital admission in SOT recipients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and long-term outcomes among Sot recipients should be assessed in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Negative immune responses to two-dose mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in renal allograft recipients assessed with simple antibody and interferon gamma release assay cellular monitoring.

TL;DR: In this paper, an easy-to-use real-world monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies against the Spike protein and QuantiFERON® SARS CoV2 IFNI³ release assay (IGRA) were performed at baseline and 28 days after the second dose in kidney transplant (KT) recipients and controls (dialysis patients and healthy ones).
Journal ArticleDOI

Negative immune responses to two-dose mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in renal allograft recipients assessed with simple antibody and interferon gamma release assay cellular monitoring

TL;DR: Gao et al. as discussed by the authors performed a real-world monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies against the Spike protein and QuantiFERON® SARS CoV2 IFNγ release assay (IGRA).

Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical course and risk factors for mortality of adult inpatients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a retrospective cohort study.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used univariable and multivariable logistic regression methods to explore the risk factors associated with in-hospital death, including older age, high SOFA score and d-dimer greater than 1 μg/mL.
Journal ArticleDOI

The trinity of COVID-19: immunity, inflammation and intervention.

TL;DR: The interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with the immune system and the subsequent contribution of dysfunctional immune responses to disease progression is described and the implications of these approaches for potential therapeutic interventions that target viral infection and/or immunoregulation are highlighted.
