ABSTRACT

Introduction: COVID - 19 viruses are responsible for endemic respiratory tract infection in the wide world. In some cases, COVID-19 causes thrombosis, to detect these cases D-dimer test should be done. Also, there is a correlation between COVID-19 and ferritin. according to this, this research was done to detect these variations. Aims: So this study aims to detect the relation between COVID-19 and D-dimer and ferritin. Methods: This study carried out on adult patients in the special labs in Amman the capital of Jordan between January 2020 to July 2021 using PCR tests for detecting the virus. The ferritin test was done in serum samples by the sandwich method of ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), D-Dimer Rapid Quantitative Test is based on fluorescence immunoassay technology. Discussion/Conclusion. We conclude that the COVID-19 patients suffer from hyperferritinemia and elevated baseline D-dimer. thrombosis can occur in different organs, leading to organ failure in serious COVID-19 cases.

Keywords: COVID-19, ferritin, Thrombosis, and D- dimer.
