As previously reported by Malik et al. [26], several studies have shown that severe or fatal cases of COVID-19 are associated, in addition to with CRP and IL-6, with elevated white blood cell counts, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, liver and kidney function markers, and lower lymphocyte and platelet counts, as well as albumin levels compared to milder cases whose outcome is survival. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is COVID-19.
