Abstract

Most of the post‐renal transplant patients are taking immunosuppressive medications, including calcineurin inhibitors, anti‐proliferative agents, and steroids. This case series highlights the clinical characteristics and outcomes of eight post‐renal transplant patients with severe COVID‐19 infection admitted to the intensive care unit.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
