  1. LAB TESTS AND COVID 19

  2. COVID 19 is a novel disease caused by the SARS-cov-2 virus that is currently spreading around the world and is characterized by being highly infectious, causing symptoms mostly associated with the respiratory and gastrointestinal system and leading to a deadly inflammatory response in (2-3)% of cases [1]. The international media has been reporting on our capability for detecting or predicting the behavior of this disease, which at the moment continues to develop but is still lacking. Meanwhile, the medical community is working on indirect ways to track the development of COVID 19 patients using more traditional methods that are already available and do not require expensive new reagents or technologies. Lab results were naturally the first tool to explore in the study of how this new disease behaves in different individuals. Ideally, by detecting a strong correlation between some of the parameters most commonly evaluated by these routine tests (like white blood cell count in the hematology test, for example), doctors could gather a list of good indicators that could help them improve the care provided to patients and even prevent the development of the disease into its most deadly forms. In this article we will point out some of the most promising parameters being studied in COVID 19 patients today that can be analyzed with already available lab tests and that could potentially save many lives and/or improve the quality of care provided in healthcare facilities. Remember though, this is a new virus so things are changing daily. Article Source : https://myacare.com/en/mya-blog/lab-tests-and-covid-19
