Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease and became a global issue. Treatment of COVID-19 especially in solid organ transplant recipients is empirical and controversial, especially the adjustment of the immunosuppressants.
A 29-year-old kidney transplant recipient with the symptoms of COVID-19 pneumonia.
COVID-19 pneumonia after kidney transplantation.
He was treated with modified immunosuppressants (unchanged dose of tacrolimus and oral corticosteroids while discontinuing mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)), antibiotics, interferon α-2b inhalation and traditional Chinese medicine.
He recovered from COVID-19 pneumonia after 29 days of hospitalization. And the renal function (measured as blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and urine protein) returned to normal.
In certain group of COVID-19 (e.g., mild to moderate cases, young patients without comorbidities), a reduction instead of an overall withdrawal of immunosuppressant in kidney transplant recipients is feasible.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种新型传染病,已成为全球性问题。COVID-19的治疗,尤其是实体器官移植受者的治疗,是经验性的且存在争议,尤其是免疫抑制剂的调整。
一名29岁的肾移植受者,出现COVID-19肺炎症状。
肾移植后COVID-19肺炎。
他接受了调整后的免疫抑制剂治疗(他克莫司剂量不变,口服糖皮质激素,同时停用霉酚酸酯(MMF))、抗生素、干扰素α-2b吸入治疗及中药治疗。
住院29天后,他从COVID-19肺炎中康复。肾功能(以血尿素氮、血清肌酐和尿蛋白衡量)恢复正常。
在某些COVID-19患者群体中(例如,轻至中度病例、无合并症的年轻患者),肾移植受者减少而非完全停用免疫抑制剂是可行的。
