- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients. It highlights that while the pandemic has had some negative effects on mental health, the majority of patients with CKD were able to reach their pre-existing mental health status after recovering from COVID-19. The article also mentions that the pandemic has led to increased self-isolation and social distancing among kidney transplant recipients, but adherence to preventive measures has been shown to reduce the likelihood of infection. Overall, the article emphasizes the importance of evaluating the long-term effects of COVID-19 on mental health in patients with specific conditions and acknowledges the vulnerability of populations with chronic diseases.
