Chronic hemodialysis patients are at high risk of severe COVID-19 disease and death related to the infection. Anti-spike monoclonal antibodies administration reduces risk of disease progression and hospitalization in high-risk subjects but no clear data on end-stage renal disease are available. We report 2 cases of Bamlanivimab/Etesevimab administration to two not hospitalized chronic hemodialysis patients with SARS-CoV2 infection. Since they are large molecules (human immunoglobulin G1) with molecular weight of 146,000 Da, administration was conducted during the second hour of the dialysis session with no adverse reaction. Conclusions: Intradialytic administration of Bamlanivimab/Etesevimab could be considered safe and may allow adequate clinical observation time without hospital-stay prolongation.
慢性血液透析患者感染 COVID-19 后发生重症和死亡的风险较高。抗刺突单克隆抗体的使用可降低高危人群疾病进展和住院的风险,但终末期肾病患者的数据尚不清楚。我们报告了 2 例 Bamlanivimab/Etesevimab 用于治疗 2 例未住院的慢性血液透析 COVID-19 感染患者。由于它们是分子量为 146000Da 的大分子(人免疫球蛋白 G1),所以在透析期间的第 2 小时进行给药,没有不良反应。结论:Bamlanivimab/Etesevimab 透析内给药可能是安全的,可以在不延长住院时间的情况下提供充分的临床观察时间。
