Abstract:
A SARS-CoV-2 infection is the source of the infectious illness COVID-19. The SARS CoV2 infection has remained severe after the World Health Organization (WHO) deemed it to be a global health crisis. This research aims to assess a few biochemical indicators in individuals with COVID-19. There are fifty COVID-19-infected patients in this study who received medical care at the Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Teaching Hospital in Iraq. Levels of RBS, S. BUN, S. cre., D. dimer, and ferritin were analyzed by the Cobas c-111 and Hipro-TM devices. All patient measures were contrasted with those of fifty healthy people serving as a control group. The results of this study showed that, among the fifty COVID-19 patients, males had a higher infection rate than females. Out of 50 COVID-19 patients, 62% were men, and 38% were women. When contrasting the patient group with the control group, the mean of glucose is significantly different between the patient group and the control group, and the mean of blood glucose is (223.26±18.79) mg/dl. In addition, the mean blood sugar was (247.13±26.01) mg/dl in males, while the mean blood sugar was (184.31±23.57) mg/dl in females. There were no significant differences between the patient and the control group in the mean of urea and creatinine, in the patient group, the mean (BUN) was (63.02±15.08) mg/dl and (0.770±0.09) mg/dl, respectively. While in the control group, the mean (BUN) was (26.76±1.03) mg/dl and (0.672±0.03) mg/dl, respectively. D-dimer and ferritin levels in patients showed significant differences when compared with the control group; the mean was (3581.16±472.15) ng/mL and (691.50±60.07) ng/mL, respectively, in the patient group, while the mean was (165.96±6.72) ng/mL and (161.22±7.38) ng/mL, respectively, in the control group.
