Background: Constructing serologic profiles of donors is the first step in establishing traceability in the donation and transplant process. These data allow us to implement various strategies to enhance the recipients' quality of care. We present the serologic profiles of donors in Argentina between 2017 and 2021.

- - The Argentine Registry of COVID in chronic dialysis reported data from April 2020 to April 2021, registering 36,918 patients on dialysis, with 10% (3,709) confirmed COVID-19 cases.
- - Of those infected, 45.2% were hospitalized, with 39% requiring ICU care, and 62% of ICU patients needing mechanical ventilation; the overall death rate was 35.24%.
- - Factors linked to higher mortality in dialysis patients included age over 60, diabetes, extended dialysis duration, and the necessity for hospitalization or ICU admission, indicating a critical need for focused care and vaccination strategies in this high-risk group.
Background: Preliminary data suggest that COVID-19 has reduced access to solid organ transplantation. However, the global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on transplantation rates and the effect on waitlisted patients have not been reported. We aimed to assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on transplantation and investigate if the pandemic was associated with heterogeneous adaptation in terms of organ transplantation, with ensuing consequences for waitlisted patients.

Methods: Patients and potential donors are HLA typed for their HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 alleles. The best allogeneic donor is one for which each allele matches the patient at HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 (8/8).
