Since the overall 16.9% mortality rate of the SARS-CoV-2-infected kidney transplant recipient on immunosuppressants is attributed to death of older (>50 years) patients with comorbidities and/or secondary complications (Table 3) , the 16.9% mortality rate does not seem to be abnormally high because it is in line with the rates reported by others for different COVID-19 patients populations. In another report [72] , Katz-Greenberg et al., described the clinical outcomes of 20 kidney-transplant recipients (ages 30 to 73 years) who were infected by SARS-CoV-2, and showed that only 3 patients (2 males aged 72 and 73 and 1 female aged 63) died, suggesting a 15% mortality that is related to advancing age [72] , which agrees with our review of the published case reports. ./cache/cord-264976-6n9cdex6.txt ./txt/cord-264976-6n9cdex6.txt
