COVID‐19: transplant works toward adaptation	2020-09-29		.txt	text/plain	1642	93	52	These recommendations state that during the COVID-19 pandemic, deceased donor kidney transplantations should be performed only if it is possible to transplant a SARS-CoV-2 negative organ into a SARS-CoV-2 negative patient, and that renal transplantation should be prioritized for recipients facing urgent clinical conditions "because frequent healthcare contact due to the severity of their underlying disease means that these patients will remain at high risk for acquiring SARS-CoV-2, a risk that might be greater than the risk of SARS-CoV-2 acquisition through successful transplantation," says Dr. Remuzzi. Currently, the American Society of Transplantation and the ISOT do not recommend the use of organs from living donors who are SARS-CoV-2 positive or classifi ed as high risk after screening. Recently, colleagues at Dr. Remuzzi's institution reported the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the kidney, and the potential for donor-derived COVID-19 infection remains unknown. Dr. Potena estimates that in a typical winter, 20 to 25% of the transplant center's patients have COVID-like symptoms.	./cache/cord-259523-92hz534s.txt	./txt/cord-259523-92hz534s.txt
