Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients (KTR) inhabit a landscape of immune dysfunction, multimorbidity, and high healthcare interaction, which may amplify both the risk and consequences of post-COVID condition (PCC). In this article, we aimed to review current evidence on PCC and related post-acute sequelae in dialysis patients and KTR-focusing on symptom burden, risk factors, functional outcomes, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), kidney and graft outcomes, and recovery trajectories. It was found that dialysis patients and KTR experience a substantial burden of PCC superimposed on already complex symptoms and risk profiles. Long COVID in these groups encompasses not only fatigue, dyspnea and a \u201cbrain fog\u201d phenomenon but also impaired HRQoL, reduced functional recovery, and potential acceleration of kidney and graft decline. Harmonized PCC definitions, kidney-specific outcome measures, and prospective multicentre studies in ESKD and kidney transplant populations are urgently required to inform prevention and management strategies embedded within the dialysis and kidney transplantation pathways.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5527\/wjn.118018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]],"date-time":"2026-06-02T15:37:42Z","timestamp":1780414662000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Shadows of infection: Post-coronavirus disease condition and outcome patterns in patients receiving dialysis and kidney transplant recipients"],"prefix":"10.5527","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Pranesh","family":"Jain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henry H L","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weaam","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Varun","family":"Mamidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajkumar","family":"Chinnadurai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(21)00703-9"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.24095\/hpcdp.45.3.02"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.12603"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2021060734"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.0000000773"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40620-022-01295-z"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40620-022-01296-y"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.kint.2020.07.042"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10194451"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.92535"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.31450\/ukrjnd.3(83).2024.09"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.29932"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2024.106990"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10215205"},{"key":"B15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/iid3.509"},{"key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15789\/2220-7619-pcc-7111"},{"key":"B17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TP.0000000000004359"},{"key":"B18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5414\/CN111584"},{"key":"B19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40620-022-01451-5"},{"key":"B20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2022.1007636"},{"key":"B21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TXD.0000000000001690"},{"key":"B22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12882-022-02680-3"},{"key":"B23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TP.0000000000004858"},{"key":"B24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2025.1602167"}],"container-title":["World Journal of Nephrology"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wjgnet.com\/2220-6124\/full\/v15\/i3\/118018.htm","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wjgnet.com\/2220-6124\/full\/v15\/i3\/118018.htm","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]],"date-time":"2026-08-12T10:27:44Z","timestamp":1786530464000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wjgnet.com\/2220-6124\/full\/v15\/i3\/118018.htm"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,25]]},"references-count":24,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3"},"alternative-id":["118018"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5527\/wjn.118018","relation":{},"ISSN":["2220-6124"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2220-6124","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,25]]}}}
