- * A case study of a 69-year-old man with splenic marginal zone lymphoma and chronic kidney disease shows that after contracting COVID-19, his kidney function worsened, confirmed by elevated blood creatinine levels.
- * A kidney biopsy revealed viral replication of SARS-CoV-2 in kidney cells, demonstrating a direct relationship between the viral infection and acute kidney injury in this patient.
Introduction: In order to validate our strategy of continuous improvement and to identify new ways to increase performance, an evaluation of all the procedures was conducted in our department using the principles of lean management.
Material And Methods: Lean-6-sigma methodology (Gemba Walk, Value StreamMapping, spaghetti diagram, Kaizen workshop and priorization matrix) was used to analyze the procedures of the conventional and molecular sectors, and to identify bottlenecks, actions without added value and solutions.
Results: The audit identified bottlenecks in pre-analytical (registration), analytical (cytology, immunohistochemistry, sequencing, pathologists) and post-analytical processes (absence of secretaries, delivery of reports by mail).
