Potential Role of Biochemical Markers as an Early Indicator for the Severity of COVID-19 Disease

Jishamol K ^[2] | Aswathy Mohan | Sumitha P

Abstract: The 2019 corona virus disease (Covid-19) has a high fatality rate and great infectivity. Patients with Covid-19 are susceptible to abrupt decline and life-threatening consequences. Therefore, identifying laboratory biomarkers is necessary in order to classify high risk patients. The main goal of the study is to examine various biochemical parameters such as, C-Reactive Proteins (CRP), serum ferritin, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum procalcitonin, IL-6 and D-dimerin patients with severe and non-severe Covid-19 cases and to identify the most effective biomarker to predict the disease severity.

Keywords: COVID-19 disease, biomarkers, C-reactive protein, Ferritin, D-dimer, Procalcitonin, Lactate dehydrogenase. IL-6
