Elevated levels of BUN (OR: 6.15; 95% CI: 3.05, 12.37), Hs-troponin I (OR: 9.25; 95% CI: 3.51, 24.37), creatine kinase (OR: 2.44; 95% CI: 1.65, 3.62), Hs-CRP (OR: 14.27; 95% CI: 5.13, 39.71), IL-6 (OR: 6.68; 95% CI: 3.20, 13.94), D-dimer (OR: 6.19; 95% CI: 4.22, 9.08), ferritin (OR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.06, 3.62), lactate dehydrogenase (OR: 8.28; 95% CI: 4.75, 14.46), procalcitonin (OR: 6.62; 95% CI: 3.32, 13.21), ESR (OR: 4.45; 95% CI: 2.56, 7.76), and CRP >8 (OR: 8.34; 95% CI: 1.85, 37.62) were also associated with severe COVID-19 (Figure 7–Figure 9). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is COVID-19.
