CONCLUSION: Pediatric patients on regular HD (CKD 5D) are at higher risk and worse outcome of Covid-19 infection than KT recipients (KTR). Pre-existing HTN and shorter duration after KT are potential risk factors. Reversible AGD after KT and CVC related infections in HD patients are additional presenting features of Covid-19 infection.
