Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic is evolving very quickly and means a special risk for both immunosuppressed and comorbid patients. Knowledge about this growing infection is also increasing although many uncertainties remain, especially in the kidney transplant population. This manuscript presents a proposal for action with general and specific recommendations to protect and prevent infection in this vulnerable population such as kidney transplant recipients.

In over 80% of cases the symptoms of the disease are mild (fever, cough, expectoration, general malaise), while approximately 20% may have serious clinical manifestations (pneumonia and other clinical complications) that require hospital admission. Pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, immunocompromised and patients with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, are more to be infected by COVID-19, and they are more likely to suffer severe illness that often requires to be admitted to ICU.

In the general population, lymphopenia has been observed in up to 63% of patients,<xref rid="bib0030" ref-type="bibr"><sup>6</sup></xref> but many kidney transplant recipients have drug-induced lymphopenia, therefore, this finding does not help the diagnosis. Therefore, special attention should be paid to this type of immunosuppressed patients, evaluating the early detection of this infection by appropriate diagnostic test and the admission to the hospital in case of infection.</p><p id="par0020">The first case of COVID-19 pneumonia in a kidney transplant recipient has been published recently.<xref rid="bib0035" ref-type="bibr"><sup>7</sup></xref> The clinical features (symptoms, laboratory tests and chest CT scan) were similar to non-transplanted patients with COVID-19.</p><p id="par0025">There have not been published relevant reports on the progress of this disease in the renal transplant population. Most of the transplant centers in Spain already have cases of kidney transplant patients affected by COVID-19 that have not been published. Therefore, it is essential the collaboration between countries in the preparation of national and European registries to learn with detail the epidemiological characteristics of this infection in patients with solid organ transplants, including kidney transplantation.</p><p id="par0030">To our knowledge, COVID-19 has not been described in donor-recipient transmission of solid organ transplants. However, related viruses such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) were reported in transplant recipients during previous outbreaks of these viruses.<xref rid="bib0040" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>, <xref rid="bib0045" ref-type="bibr">9</xref></p><p id="par0035">Based on experiences with previous coronaviruses, it is known that any transplant recipient exposed to the virus would become infected in a high percentage of cases; however, less is known about the risk of donor-recipient transmission. The possibility of a donor-derived infection may be influenced by exposure of the donor, the infectivity of individuals during the incubation period and by asymptomatic people. The extent and duration of viremia and the viability of the virus within specific blood or organ compartments would also affect the risk of donor transmission. Therefore, despite the possible negative consequences, temporary interruption of kidney transplantation may be necessary in areas where the virus is being exposed intensively.<xref rid="bib0050" ref-type="bibr"><sup>10</sup></xref></p><p id="par0040">The current epidemic of COVID-19 in Europe is still in its early stages, and although the acquisition knowledge is increasing rapidly, there are many unknowns for the community in general and particularly for the transplant patients.

The recommendations may change as we learn more about the infection.</p><p id="par0045">In order to acquire the maximum knowledge to protect the population of kidney transplant recipients, the transplant centers have to develop connections with their local infectious disease specialists and infection prevention professionals. At the same time, it is important to be aware of local and national public health policies to report suspected cases of COVID-19.
