Emergency room doctors say they are running into a new crisis as they struggle to treat patients with Covid-19 -- a shortage of dialysis machines and supplies
They say they are overwhelmed, not only because patients are going into kidney failure, but also because the body's intense reaction to the virus is often causing their blood to clot too much, and the clots are literally clogging up the dialysis filters.It's part of the new syndrome that doctors are seeing in Covid-19 patients.

We are going to run out of supplies for the 30% of patients who need dialysis," Charytan said. Parnia added:"Right now, dialysis is the key thing that's needed. I don't know why they call it Covid pneumonia. They could just as easily call it renal failure with pneumonia.
