People who have received solid organ transplants have a higher risk for severe disease and death from COVID, compared with the general population, a new study shows.
"Liver transplant recipients were probably the most protected. They still had an 11% mortality, which is still higher than the general population, but definitely lower than for lung transplant recipients, and I think it's because the liver transplant recipients are generally on less antirejection medication, which may be protective in terms of bad outcomes," said Kumar.
The results also suggest that transplant recipients should be placed first in line for vaccines and treatments against COVID, she added."When we have vaccines and therapies that are limited in supply, or that we can only give out in a limited way, this study highlights the importance of prioritizing the transplant population. I think this is where the study is most helpful," said Kumar.
