Abstract

Background: COVID-19 caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections has turn into a pandemic and has extended all over the world. Since the virus has the potential ability to severely impair heart and liver, analyzing the biochemical parameters is a suitable approach for clinicians to assess the outcome. Methods: This study was conducted along with 614 recognized COVID-19 patients. All samples were from Emergency department of Sina Hospital in Tehran, Iran, from February to May, 2020. Results: A total of 614 COVID-19 patients with mean age of 57.8 years (16-94 years) consisting of 385 (62.7%) male and 229 (37.2%) female were studied. Patients with COVID-19 had no significant difference between cardiac and liver parameters on the presentation and discharge time (p-value≥0.05). Patients with COVID-19 had significant correlation in Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and Total Bilirubin with recovery and mortality outcome (p-value≤0.05). Also, high sensitivity cardiac Troponin-I, LDH, AST, and ALT in patients with COVID-19 were significantly associated with high in-hospital mortality (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: Several laboratory parameters may ease the evaluation of COVID-19 in-hospital mortality. Cardiac and liver parameters are critical in assisting COVID-19 cases.
