| Core Tip |
There is not a consensus whether solid organ transplant recipients present increased severity or death rates due to COVID-19 compared with the general population. In particular, liver allograft has a low risk of rejection, therefore enabling treatment with relatively less immunosuppressive regimens. The reduction in the production of proinflammatory cytokines, without a drastic suppression of the immune response, may benefit liver transplant recipients during COVID-19. Further investigations should compare different organ transplant recipients, elapsed time from the organ transplant, different immunosuppressive treatments, and their anti-SARS-CoV-2 response. |
