Abstract

Abstract. In most cases, COVID-19 is asymptomatic or mild and not life-threatening, but there is a category of patients for whom the infection poses a serious threat – organ transplant recipients. The severity of the disease in such patients is due to the need for immunosuppressive therapy, due to the high risk of developing infectious complications due to prolonged immunosuppression and a pronounced comorbid background. In the given clinical case, the experience of diagnosis and successful treatment of a patient with COVID-19 infection is presented complicated by multiple organ dysfunction and, as a consequence, renal transplant dysfunction in a 36-year-old patient with stage 5 chronic kidney disease who was hospitalized at the Grodno University Hospital.
