Moreover, blood was analyzed for other markers as well like highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP, median: 6.3-fold higher; p=0.003), elevated inflammatory biomarkers were directly proportional to the severity of the COVID-19 disease.22 In another study among the three groups of patients positive for COVID-19 showed significant differences in ferritin levels, especially between the mild and extremely severe groups. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is COVID-19.
