Purpose-A study of serum ferritin and d-dimer levels in a COVID-19 positive patients Materials and methods-The present case study consists of 89 patients, single centered hospital based comparative cross-sectional study Results-Overall patients enrolled in the study were more than 40 years of age and almost exclusively males 66 patients (74 2%), 23 females (25 4%) All the patients were asked a detailed history about smoking and pre-existing comorbidities of lung which decreased chances of false positive result of study The patients with higher HRCT score were found to have deranged d-dimer ferritin levels Conclusion-The current study findings suggest that COVID-19 pneumonia may result in clinically relevant alteration in deranged in d-dimer and serum ferritin levels © 2021, Annals of R S C B All rights reserved
