Renal Transplantation in COVID 19 Pandemic

-Dr. Santosh Chhetri

The exact scenario of renal diseases in Nepal has not been well studied. It is assumed that more than 3000 cases of end stage renal disease are diagnosed throughout the country who require significant medical assistance for continuing their life. Renal replacement therapy either in the form of dialysis (Hemodialysis or Peritoneal Dialysis) or renal transplantation are the options available. Renal transplantation is the best option available for those patients.
