Our study found significantly worse laboratory test results in the PD group, suggesting a higher disease severity in this group, in accordance to other reports.8,28,29 A study on dialysis and COVID-19 demonstrated a correlation between higher initial values of white blood cells, LDH, and CRP and several inflammatory markers and disease severity and death.28 Broseta et al. also showed that higher LDH and CRP levels at admission were associated with higher COVID-19 mortality risk in the dialysis population.29 The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is COVID-19.
