We noticed that the abundance of acute‐phase proteins CRP and LBP as well as the predictive markers SERPINA3 and SAA1 that had been associated with severe COVID‐19 disease progression in blood and plasma (Messner et al, 2020; Geyer et al, 2021; COMBAT, 2022), were also clearly increased in the large majority of organs (Fig EV2B). The gene discussed is SAA1; the disease is COVID-19.
