Brief summary

The Covid-19 Serum Study is a prospective case-control study in 1. kidney or liver transplanted patients being hospitalized due to an infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) after transplantation (TX) (POST-TX Covid-19 Serum Study) or 2. patients receiving kidney or liver transplantation after having had a SARS-CoV-2 infection (PRE-TX Covid-19 Serum Study) The aim of this study is to evaluate the development of de novo donor specific antibodies (dnDSA) in transplanted patients being hospitalized due to an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (POST-TX Covid-19 Serum Study) as well as in patients receiving kidney or liver transplantation after having had an infection with SARS-CoV-2 prior to transplantation (PRE-TX Covid-19 Serum Study). Further, the investigators will evaluate possible consequences of having had a SARS-CoV-2 infection prior or after liver or kidney transplantation with regard to graft survival and incidence of graft rejection episodes as well as SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody development after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
