Saleh in the Clinical Laboratory Sciences Department. \u00a0This study aimed to measure the level of some serum biomarkers, levels namely neopterin, ischemia-modified albumin, and fetuin-A in Iraqi patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 in comparison to apparently healthy individuals as a control group and study the possible correlation between, serum levels of the measured biomarkers. Also to measure some hematological parameters such as D-dimer, ferritin, the neutrophil to lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte to monocyte count ratio (LMR). The thesis included a case-control study, that involved 89 (non-vaccinated for COVID-19) participants, 45 of whom were hospitalized patients diagnosed clinically with severe COVD-19 infection, and with positive results of nucleic acid amplification testing by real-time reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of respiratory samples, and the other 44 were apparently healthy \u00a0controls. 5 mls of blood specimens were collected, 1ml putted in EDTA tube to obtain whole blood used to measure white blood cells counts, 1 ml blood putted in sodium citrate tube to obtain plasma to measure D-dimer, and the remainder 3mls putted in gel tube to obtain serum to measure neopterin, ischemia-modified albumin, fetuin-A, and ferritin that were measured using Enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) specific kits. \u00a0 The results proved that neopterin, IMA, D-dimer, ferritin, and NLR levels were significantly increased in the blood of severe COVID-19 patients, while fetuin-A serum levels were unaffected by the infection, and lymphocyte and LMR levels were significantly lower in the blood of severe COVID-19 patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1198 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/en.copharm.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2022\/12\/4-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.copharm.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2022\/12\/4-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/en.copharm.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2022\/12\/4-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.copharm.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2022\/12\/4-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.copharm.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2022\/12\/4-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/en.copharm.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2022\/12\/4-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0The Faculty of Pharmacy discussed the master&#8217;s thesis titled &#8220;Serum Levels of Neopterin, Ischemia Modified Albumin, and Fetuin-A in Iraqi &#8230; <a class=\"cz_readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/en.copharm.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/?p=1197\"><i class=\"fa czico-132-arrows-8\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>more<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","category-dissuasion"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
