Background: The COVID19 pandemic is a scientific, medical, and societal problem.
Because the clinical course of this disease is very unpredictable and can proceed
quickly, resulting in major problems, it's critical to find laboratory biomarkers that can
help define the patient’s severity during initial stage.
Patients and methods: This prospective cohort study was carried out at El Salalm
Hospital and outpatient clinics in in El-Salm City, at the period from March 2019 to
February 2021. This study included 100 individuals presented with manifestations
which were suspicious to be due to COVID 19 and proved to have COVID19 by
COVID19 test using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR)
technique.
Results: There was significant relation between high CRP value and D dimer, and
LDH, also significant relation between high CRP values and imaging data (CT chest
showed ground glass appearance), also Chest pain is significantly related to high values
of D dimer and LDH.
Conclusion: Current study showed significant relation between levels of
inflammatory markers such as CRP and D Dimer, LDH in patients with COVID-19 so
can be used as reliable indicators that can help in diagnosis of patients with COVID19.
