The Devastating Effect of Covid-19 on Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease

Session moderated by Bob Wachter

Covid-19 has had immense impacts on our healthcare system, including on the care of our most vulnerable patients such as those with end-stage kidney disease. For our annual Kardos Medical Grand Rounds, Dr. Kirsten Johansen, professor of Medicine at the University of Minnesota Medical School and chief of Nephrology at Hennepin Healthcare, will provide insights into the impact of Covid-19 on individuals battling end-stage kidney disease.

This lecture is held in memory of Dr. Gary Kardos, who was an esteemed clinician-educator nephrologist at UCSF for several decades.
