Background:
The study aimed to examine some biochemical test parameters and De Ritis ratio in COVID-19 patients, considering age and gender.
Method:
The study was performed on patients with real-time polymerase chain reaction and computed tomography lung diagnosis. The relationship between lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and De Ritis ratio were analysed in the first blood samples of the patients. The difference between gender was also compared with the independent sample t-test. Alpha value was accepted <0.05.
Results:
The De Ritis was significantly higher in females (p = .040). The De Ritis ratio was associated with CK in both gender. There was no significant difference in the biochemical parameters according to gender.
Conclusion:
The De Ritis ratio appears to be a parameter that can be used in COVID-19 patients. However, more detailed and comprehensive studies including the symptoms of patients are needed.
