| Introduction Management of vulnerable patients during the COVID‐19 pandemic requires careful precautions. Hemodialysis patients constitute a large group of at‐risk patients that not only suffer from a compromised immune system but also are at a higher risk due to frequent admission to healthcare units. Therefore, a better understanding on the pathogenesis and possible risk factors of COVID‐19 in hemodialysis patients is of high importance. Methods A total of 670 maintained hemodialysis patients from all dialysis units of the East Azerbaijan Province of Iran, including 44 COVID‐19 patients were included in the present study. Possible associations between the backgrounds of patients and the incidence of COVID‐19 were assessed. Also, hemodialysis patients with COVID‐19 were compared to 211 nonhemodialysis COVID‐19 patients. Findings Chronic glomerulonephritis patients and those with blood group A demonstrated a higher incidence of COVID‐19. On the other hand, patients with blood group AB+ and those with hypertension etiology of kidney failure demonstrated a lower incidence of COVID‐19. Hemodialysis patients with COVID‐19 had higher counts of polymorphonuclears (PMNs) in their peripheral blood compared to other COVID‐19 patients. Discussion A better comprehension on the risk factors associated with COVID‐19 in hemodialysis patients can improve our understanding on the pathogenesis of COVID‐19 in different situations and help the enhancement of current therapeutics for COVID‐19 in hemodialysis patients. |
