COVID-19, a pandemic sweeping the world’s population, is particularly threatening to patients with kidney disease and to their caregivers. ASN publications - JASN, CJASN and Kidney360 - are working to provide valid, peer reviewed information as quickly as possible. This collection of COVID-19 articles is updated with new articles as soon as they are published.
Two important JASN articles were published on April 16 that provide a point and counterpoint to the subject of twice-weekly hemodialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- "Twice-Weekly Hemodialysis Is an Option for Many Patients in Times of Dialysis Unit Stress" by Timothy W. Meyer, Thomas H. Hostetter and Suzanne Watnick
- "Counterpoint: Twice-Weekly Hemodialysis Should Be an Approach of Last Resort Even in Times of Dialysis Unit Stress" by Rajnish Mehrotra
