Hypoalbuminemia on Admission in Covid 19 pandemic in Iraq: An Initial Analyst of Mortality and Adverse Events

Abstract

Introduction The Covid 19 pandemic is a current universal health emergency. negative acute phase reactant proven an association of hypoalbuminemia with inflammatory in the infectious diseases.
Objectives: The study was conducted to examine the variations of serum albumin levels in Covid 19 patients. A cross-sectional study with total on fixed cases of Covid 19 pandemic in Karbala city in AL-Hussein hospital from 1 June 2021 to 12 September 2021.
Methods: Serum albumin levels, Liver function tests and hematocrit were review to estimate its link with disease evolution in Covid 19 patients. There were fifty-five Covid 19 patients and twenty healthy people in total. When compared to normal healthy persons, the levels of serum albumin, ALT, AST, urea, S. creatine, CRP, and hematocrit in Covid 19 patients were considerably different, and the levels of albumin were even lower.
Results: Lymphocytes showed a reduction. However, the clinical markers of the increase are unremarkable. Extremely common of severe Covid patients showed a significant decrease in albumin value as well as a continuous decrease in infection growth. A positive correlation has been found between albumin and CRP, platelets, and urea levels. (r = +0.969, r = +0.2.06 and r= 0.971 respectively; P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: The observation revealed that have lower serum albumin values, While the explanation for this interaction needs to be investigated further, measuring blood albumin levels could be a useful technique for identifying people who are at a greater risk of mortality.
