Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation Among COVID-19 Recovered Patients in a Single Transplant Center.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly lowered kidney transplantation (KT) rates worldwide, and studies regarding outcomes of patients who developed COVID-19 infection before KT are limited, especially in low to middle-income countries.

Background: To determine the 1-year graft and patient survival of kidney transplant recipients who recovered from COVID-19 infection before KT.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all adult end-stage renal disease patients who underwent KT at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute from June 2020 through October 2021.
