2019冠状病毒病已蔓延至全球，并已被列为大流行病。它使医疗保健系统不堪重负。具体而言，它使许多国家的重症监护室和肾脏替代治疗服务不堪重负。在本文中，我们讨论了在当前的大流行期间，卡塔尔国肾脏病服务的重新配置。我们强调已实施的关键策略，以确保肾脏替代治疗的能力不受限制，无论是在重症监护或门诊设置。一些创新的方法，安全提供门诊护理透析和肾移植患者进行了讨论。
Coronavirus disease 2019 has spread across the world and has been classified as a pandemic. It has overwhelmed the healthcare systems. Specifically, it has overstretched the intensive care units and renal replacement therapy services in many countries. In this paper, we discuss the reconfiguration of nephrology services in the State of Qatar during the current pandemic. We highlight the key strategies that have been implemented to ensure that renal replacement therapy capacity is not constrained in either the intensive care or ambulatory setting. Some innovative approaches for the safe delivery of ambulatory care to dialysis and kidney transplant patients are also discussed.
