O transplante é a alternativa mais eficiente para tratar a insuficiência funcional terminal dos rins. Para sintetizar a literatura no tema, esta revisão sistemática buscou recuperar evidências que analisaram empiricamente a frequência de transplante renal no Brasil, relacionando com a pandemia de COVID-19. As bases de dados PUBMED, LILACS e SCIELO foram consultadas usando os descritores: “Transplantation”, “Kidney”, “COVID-19”, e “Brazil”. Assim, 146 estudos foram recuperados e apenas seis foram incluídos na revisão. A revisão mostrou que a pandemia de COVID-19 impactou negativamente no número de transplantes de rim, aumentou a lista de espera por transplante, reduziu o número de doadores, além de haver relatos de infecções e mortes entre pacientes em tratamento renal e receptores de transplante durante a pandemia. Esses achados enfatizam a necessidade de mais pesquisas para direcionar a atenção na área de transplante renal e dirimir o efeito de crises sanitárias similares a COVID-19.

We evaluate the productivity of the Brazilian states and the Federal District in transforming potential organ donors into actual donations in the years immediately before and after the COVID-19 pandemic (2019-2022). The Brazilian National Health System (SUS) which is one of the largest public transplant systems in the world, provides full coverage of all costs involved in organ donation, transplants, and post-transplant. We applied Ordinary Least Squares Regression in data from 2019-2022 and the results indicate that there is significant room for improvement in terms of converting potential donors into actual donors. The number of donors with organs transplanted decreased during the pandemic as the productivity of the transplant was affected, although it seems that the structure of the Brazilian transplant system and its technology were not significantly affected permanently.
