This study aimed to evaluate the onset characteristics of patients with uremia undergoing maintenance hemodialysis complicated with COVID-19, so as to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment.26 cases were confirmed cases of COVID-19. Confirmed patients with COVID-19 undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in the blood purification center were recruited. The general data of patients, including age, sex, duration of dialysis, and basic diseases, were analyzed. The clinical features included fever, respiratory symptoms, and gastrointestinal symptoms. The items for laboratory tests included blood routine examination, liver function, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, markers of myocardial injury, B-type natriuretic peptide, D-dimer, and so forth. The imaging examinations referred mainly to computed tomography imaging findings of the lungs.Twenty-one cases were complicated with chronic basic diseases, such as hypertension or diabetes. In terms of clinical manifestations, 13 cases had fever, which was close to the number of cases without fever (13 cases). The respiratory symptoms included dry cough (19 cases), shortness of breath (9 cases), fatigue (11 cases), and so forth. Further, 15 patients had hypoxemia, indicating more severe patients. Sore throat (2 cases) was not significant, and a few patients reported gastrointestinal symptoms (3 cases). The results of blood routine examination showed decreased absolute lymphocyte count (0.7 ± 0.4 × 10∼9/L), lower hemoglobin level (105.2 ± 20 g/L), and normal absolute neutrophil count 4.2 (3.0, 5.9) × 10∼9/L. Of the inflammatory indexes, procalcitonin was 0.69 (0.24, 2.73) ng/mL; C reactive protein was 17.2 (5.2, 181.6) mg/L, which was higher than normal. Blood biochemistry revealed lower albumin level (38.0 ± 4.0 g/L) and higher troponin 0.11(0.035, 6.658) ng/mL and myoglobin levels (538.5 ± 240.5 ng/mL), suggesting myocardial injury.The patients with uremia and confirmed COVID-19 undergoing maintenance hemodialysis are more common in males. Although the proportion of fever patients is 50%, the proportion of hypoxemia patients is high (58%). With poor cardiac function. They were prone to respiratory failure complicated with heart failure. According to the onset characteristics of this population, early diagnosis and treatment could help reduce the risk of developing a critical illness and control the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic.
