Previously reported modifications in severe forms of COVID-19 showed increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), interleukin 6 (IL-6), D-dimers, cardiac troponin, and renal markers, whereas decreased levels of albumin turned out to predict mortality in hospitalised COVID-19 patients [8,9,10,11]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is COVID-19.
