The FDA approved the antiviral drug remdesivir for use in adults for the treatment of COVID-19 requiring hospitalization. There are only limited data about the safety of the drug in hemodialysed patents. Chronic kidney disease is a risk factor in COVID-19 for developing severe disease. The aim of our investigation is to observe the safety of remdesivir among hemodialysed patients requiring hospitalization for COVID-19. We are going to compare two group's data: 1. Hemodialysed COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization because of pneumonia and need of oxygen supplementation, and admitted after 12/Apr/2021 - these patients received remdesivir. 2. Hemodialysed COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization because of pneumonia and need of oxygen supplementation, and admitted before 12/Apr/2021 - these patients did not receive remdesivir.
