Analysis on clinical characteristics of kidney transplant recipients with Omicron variant infection
Objective To report and analyze the clinical characteristics of kidney transplant recipients(KTRs)combined with novel coronavirus Omicron variant strain infection of novel coronavirus(SARS-CoV-2),and to investigate the possible factors affecting the serum creatinine change.Methods The patients under-going allogeneic kidney transplantation and complicating Omicron variant strain infection in this hospital from October 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively observed.Their clinical data,basic complications and prognosis,etc.were collected and analyzed.The possible factors affecting the serum creatinine change were an-alyzed.Results Among the 114 cases of KTRs combined with Omicron variant strain infection included in this study,there were 90 cases(78.9％)in the home management group(group A),18 cases(15.8％)in the non-intensive isolation ward group(group B)and 6 cases(5.3％)in the ICU group(group C).The most common symptoms were in turn fever(90.4％),fatigue(65.8％)and cough(61.4％),the clinical manifesta-tions were mainly upper respiratory tract infection symptoms.The overall mortality rate was 2.6％(3/114),moreover the dead patients all were in the group C.The number of basic comorbidities in the group C was higher than that in the group B and group A(P＜0.05).The patients were re-divided into 33 cases(28.9％)in the creatinine increase group(group D),71 cases(62.3％)in the creatinine unchange group(group E)and 10 cases(8.8％)in the creatinine decrease group(group F).The patients in the F group were the patients with mild and moderate Omicron variant strain infection in the group A,and a larger proportions of the pa-tients in the group D and group F discontinued or reduced the calcineurin inhibitor(CNI)type drugs than in the group E.Conclusion The hazard of Omicron variant strains to KTRs has been greatly reduced compared with previous other variant strains.Realizing the immune balance between anti-infection and anti-rejection is the effective measure for preventing renal function damage in KTRs.
