Abstract
Patients with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients experience a substantial burden of post-COVID condition.
- Post-COVID condition includes symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty breathing, and cognitive impairment.
- These patients may have impaired health-related quality of life and reduced functional recovery.
- There is a potential for accelerated decline in kidney function and graft health following COVID-19.
- Complex symptom profiles in these populations could amplify the consequences of post-COVID condition.
- There is an urgent need for standardized definitions and kidney-specific outcome measures to improve management strategies.
