Good Practice Recommendations from the Brazilian Society of Nephrology to Dialysis Units Concerning the Pandemic of the New Coronavirus (Covid-19). J Bras Nefrol. 2020 Aug 26;42(2 suppl 1):15-17 Authors: Moura-Neto JA, Abreu AP, Delfino VDA, Misael AM, D'Avila R, Silva DRD, Andreoli MCC, Kraychete A, Bastos K, Nascimento MMD Abstract Dialysis units are environments potentially prone to the spread of Covid-19. Patients cannot suspend treatment, and they often have comorbidities, which assigns them a higher risk and worse prognosis. The Brazilian Society of Nephrology prepared this document of good practices, whose technical recommendations deal with general measures that can be implemented to reduce the risk of transmission and prevent the spread of the disease in the unit.
