Abstract

Background: To assess the c-reactive protein to albumin ratio as a predictive factor in covid-19 patients admitted to the hospital.

Methods: The Hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells (WBCs), lymphocyte, platelet, neutrophils , D-dimer, Ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST),  and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) were assessed in 60 COVID-19 patients compared to 40 healthy control subjects. Colorimetric techniques were used to determine the blood levels of ALT, AST, ALP, and albumin. IchromaTM assessed serum ferritin and d-dimer, and CBC was determined using an autohematology analyzer.

Results: WBCs, neutrophils, D-dimer, Ferritin, CRP, ALT, AST, and CAR were considerably higher in COVID-19 patients compared to the control group, whereas  platelet, albumin, and lymphocyte were significantly lower (P 0.0001).

Conclusion: The CAR appears to have a significant chance of improving prognosis in COVID-19 patients who are hospitalized.
