Abstract:
Hemodialysis patients (HD) are expected to have excess mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This was challenged by a recent study reporting HD patients to have comparable mortality and less ICU admissions when hospitalized with COVID-19. An altered immune system due to chronic inflammation might protect HD-patients from severe COVID-19. Therefore, we aimed to describe the peripheral blood immune phenotype in HD-patients and respective controls with COVID-19.
