description | Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen responsible for the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The disease mainly affects the respiratory system of the patient, in particular, the lungs, presenting with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute respiratory failure. Laboratory findings are adding importance in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of COVID. The biochemical parameters are altered based on severity of the disease and its complications. D-dimer and LDL are commonly elevated in patients with COVID-19 and are reliable prognostic markers for in-hospital mortality in patients admitted for COVID-19. Hyperferritinemia and disease severity in patients with COVID-19 is positively correlated. It is said that the detrimental effects on liver injury were related to certain medications used during hospitalization, which warrants frequent monitoring and evaluation for these patients. SARS-CoV-2 affects the patients with COVID-19 in aspects of direct infection of myocardial injury, specific binding to functional receptors on cardiomyocytes, and immune-mediated myocardial injury. Therefore, early, simple and effective diagnosis of severe COVID-19 pneumonia is of great significance in reducing mortality and shortening the hospitalization period. |
