ABSTRACT

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has aroused several bioethics considerations for renal transplant recipients, an area that already has experience with scarce resource distribution. The concepts of right and distributive justice are discussed in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic situation, as well the COVID-19 patient triage in overwhelmed and saturated hospitals, the consequences of reconversion of hospital that were previously transplant centers and the growing need of palliative care.
