“…Such self-reported symptoms as weakness, palpitation and chest pain require further evaluation as they may reflect serious health problems. Our results highlight the need for a long-term follow-up of HD patients for diagnostic and rehabilitation programs [30,31].…”

Background: After recovery from COVID-19, patients frequently face so-called “Post-COVID-19 Syndrome” defined by clusters of persistent symptoms lasting for >12 weeks which may arise from any system in the body. The long-term health consequences of COVID-19 in maintenance hemodialyzed (HD) patients remain to be investigated. Methods: In this longitudinal cohort study we described the health consequences in HD patients requiring hospitalization due to COVID-19. They were interviewed three and six months (M3 and M6) after discharge with a series of standardized questionnaires. Results: Of 144 HD patients discharged from the 7th Naval Hospital in Gdansk, 79 participants were enrolled, 39 m (49.4%) and 40 f (50.6%) with a median age of 70.0 (64.0–76.5) and an HD vintage of 40 months (17.5–88). After discharge, 93.7% and 81% reported at least one persistent symptom at M3 and M6, respectively. The most common symptoms were fatigue or muscle weakness (60.76% and 47.04%) and palpitations (40.51% and 30.14%). Dyspnea with an mMRC scale grade of at least 1 was reported by 21.5% before infection, and by 43.03% and 34.25% at M3 and M6, respectively. A decrease in the quality of life was reported in all domains of the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire but mainly in the pain/discomfort and anxiety dimensions. Mean EQ-VAS scores were 69.05, 61.58 and 64.38, respectively. Conclusion: Our study showed that HD patients may still experience persistent symptoms six months after recovery from COVID-19, which can further reduce their already poor health-related quality of life. This study highlights the need for long-term follow-up on these patients for diagnostic and rehabilitation programs.

“…Значна кількість пацієнтів з ПКС потребує довготривалого спостереження, протягом якого ефективна корекція симптомів у свою чергу призводить до суттєвого поліпшення стану та покращення наслідків. Фізична реабілітаційна терапія також відіграє важливу роль у поліпшенні фізичного здоров'я та зменшенні частоти очікуваних несприятливих наслідків [39,41,42]. До таких реабілітаційних заходів відносять кардіореспіраторний фітнес, м`язовоскенетну реабілітацію, фізичну активність протягом доби та когнитивну реабілітаційну терапію [39,[41][42][43].…”

“…Метою реабілітації в контексті кардіопульмональних ускладнень SARS-CoV-2 є посилення системної антиоксидантної відповіді з метою модулювання запалення, викликаного вірусом, та зменшення проявів ендотеліальної дисфункції, що досягається шляхом фізичних вправ, серед яких можуть бути: аеробні, респіраторні, вправи на спротив та інтервальні тренування [41][42][43].…”

“…Кардіопульмональні тренувальні програми, нейром'язева електрична стимуляція можуть потенційно покращити стан м'язів у таких пацієнтів [44,45]. Вправи слід починати якомога раніше, ще в гострому періоді, реабілітаційні програми мають включати пасивну реабілітацію, мобілізацію у ліжку, ранні підйоми, ізометричні вправи під контролем клінічних параметрів [41,44,45]. Такі тренування мають продовжуватись після виписки; телемедицина підвищує ефективність домашньої реабілітації цієї когорти хворих [41].…”

Abstract. Patients on maintenance dialysis treatment and kidney transplant recipients who survive coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are at higher risk of post-COVID syndrome compared to the general population. However, a detailed assessment of the causes, features, and clinical outcomes of the post-COVID syndrome in this patients’ cohort does not yet been established. In this review, we summarize published research on this issue to use these available data to predict the development, treatment and prevention of the post-COVID syndrome in dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, hemodialysis patients constitute one of the most vulnerable patient populations as they have more significant comorbidities and need to visit healthcare settings frequently even under pandemic conditions. It was also largely demonstrated that hemodialysis patients have high mortality rates with severe to fatal disease due to COVID-19 during their initial hospitalization. Even though the functional decline and fatigue after severe infections are not novel entity, some long-term effects of COVID-19 has drawn attention with its prolonged effects even after discharge. A recent prospective, observational study of Carriazo et al provided the first evidence to compare long-term mortality rates of hemodialysis patients with and without COVID-19. Carriazo et al stated a hazard ratio of 3.00 for the mortality rates of hemodialysis patients over a one-year follow-up period after the COVID-19 diagnosis. They emphasized that the high mortality rates of hemodialysis patients with COVID-19 are not limited to the initial hospitalization period but also continue after discharge, especially the first three months. In the light of this study, it can be recommended that hemodialysis patients with COVID-19 should be monitored closely and continuously and hemodialysis patients should be prioritized for a vaccination against COVID-19 with close follow-up for their antibody levels.
