Alp COVID-19 in Dialysis Patients: Adding a Few More Pieces to the Puzzle 2020-05-08 .txt text/plain 1714 90 46 Despite these obvious concerns, early reports from the epicenter of the disease, Wuhan, Hubei Province in China suggested that the incidence of COVID-19 was lower than expected with potentially milder course and outcomes in MHD patients. In a special report, Alberici et al 3 describe their clinical experience with MHD patients cared at four outpatient dialysis facilities that are part of "Brescia Renal COVID task force". Prominent findings in the study were the mild form of symptomatology at presentation, the high rate of overall mortality (29%) and emergence of usual risk factors for mortality and ARDS in SARS-CoV-2 positive MHD patients. Another interesting aspect of these reports is the wide range of symptoms in MHD patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, with a significant portion being asymptomatic. Two other special reports by Alberici et al (XXX) and Goicoechea et al (XXX) provide important information about their clinical presentation and mortality rates in MHD patients diagnosed with COVID-19. ./cache/cord-339471-1510mzmy.txt ./txt/cord-339471-1510mzmy.txt
