Reasons why CVID-19 is affecting kidney transplants patients

Since the COVID-19 pandemic has hit us hard, doctors, nurses and healthcare teams are making continuous efforts to support those with symptoms of corona virus. This situation has affected our healthcare system because of lockdown. In the disguise of COVID-19, the patients who are intensively suffering or need treatment are actually suffering. While in the middle of chaos, people have been preferring ayurvedic medicine for kidney failure which is purely authentic and give 100% results.

While the sufferers list is quite long, this situation is mostly devastating for those who are waiting for a living donor for a kidney transplant. If you are in this situation, consult your doctor and check in for updates.
  • Hospitals are postponing surgeries to ensure that hospital beds are vacant for critically ill COVID-19 patients. Even to limit the potential spread of virus to otherwise healthy people, patients are requested to stay home. The healthcare guidelines has recommended the, surgeries, and non-urgent patients consultation to be postpone until things get settled down and to slow down the spread of community transfer. Yet, many hospitals are continuing to perform the transplant surgeries, if they don’t have high number of COVID-19 cases. Also, transplant patients from living donors require two beds, and ICU for the recovery so if the hospitals don’t have enough bed, they are putting patients on hold. This will help manage the availability of the beds and keep the patients at bay from the risk of corona virus.
  • Immunosuppressant patients are at the high risk of serious infection if they ever come in contact of the corona virus. Even after social distance, the spread of the virus is increasing to communities and newly transplanted patients are vulnerable to catch the infection during their recovery time period. Many patients who did not have any symptoms of corona virus are later on found COVID-19 positive. So, you cannot anyway judge that someone you handshake today is positive or negative of the infection. Another thing that have been creating problem is the need to test the donor, living or deceased for COVID-19. If by chance, the deceased donor was tested positive, there is a great risk to the health of the organ receiver. With limited facilities to endure COVID-19 or the time lag between testing and getting results, some hospitals may ignore the procedure and undergo the transplant.
  • The third reason why kidney patients have been suffering these days is because of the limited number of ventilators. This limited availability has affected organ transplant surgery. Since COVID-19 is a serious health issue and many patients are facing respiratory illnesses so they need to be put on ventilators. Ventilators are needed to keep the donor alive who has been declared otherwise dead so that his organ can be transplanted. In case of emergency, this ventilator could have been used for COVID-19 patients.
It never happened in the history of the world anything like this health emergency. No country was prepared for this, but still, doctors and hospitals have been using their best to use the possible resources. Hospitals have been making difficult decisions balancing the life of kidney failure patients and those suffering from COVID-19 patients.
