La Sociedad Española de Enfermería Nefrológica ante la pandemia por COVID-19

Abstract

These last months we have lived a difficult reality. COVID-19 has affected us as a society and as individuals, but in addition, as professionals dedicated to renal care we have developed our activity in the first line of direct attention to chronic and acute patients. Renal patients are a group at greater risk of infection than the general population due to their great vulnerability, the need to continue treatment, and the need to visit the health centre regularly, in most cases by public transport, sharing rooms and common spaces, not to mention the great fragility of many of our patients.
