Evaluation of Some Biochemical Variables for Corona Patients Before and After Infection

Abstract

Background: Corona is one of the coronary viruses that infect humans and animals. Corona was first known in 1960 AD, and Corona was named by this name because it took a crown-like shape with pointed ends. The study showed that the Corona virus affects the liver and causes an increase in liver enzymes and a decrease in albumin in the serum of people with the virus. In severe cases, the infection can lead to liver damage. Method: The study included 50 patients suffering from infection with the emerging corona virus and 30 samples of healthy people as a control group, and both groups ranged in age from 27-77 years and of both sexes, collected from Kirkuk General Hospital. Several biochemical variables were measured in the blood serum of the groups under study, including Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase or Alanine Transaminase, Albumin two weeks after infection. Result: The study found that ALT rates recorded the highest reading at the beginning of infection and then decreased after two weeks, and the same study found that the two albums recorded a low rate when refractory, measured after two weeks of infection, and that the average mass and body weight decreased after two weeks of infection with the Corona virus.
