Generally, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infection that has caused a pandemic, it is due to a virus of the coronavirus family called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which can evolve into severe forms leading to death. Several biochemical alterations have been described in COVID-19 patients with great significance for clinical diagnosis and outcome prediction. The aim of this study is to compare early evolution of biochemical disturbances in COVID-19 patients and correlate them to severity of the disease. This study was conducted in 70 COVID-19 patients hospitalized at the Avicenna military hospital. 20 patients in the medical intensive care unit (severe group) and 50 patients in the COVID-19 isolation hospital (non-severe group). Across our laboratory data analysis of the two groups o.. View More»
