Risk assessment and prognostic aspect of coagulopathy in Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Abstract
Since December 2019, the rapid spread of SARS CoV-2 across the border,
shuffled into a world pandemic situation with an alarming rate of
morbidity and mortality. Concerns are mounting as the reports indicate
tangled circumstances among the COVID-19 patients due to blood
coagulopathy followed by organ dysfunction. COVID-19 induced an
alteration in coagulation function increase the risk of pulmonary
embolism and deep vein thrombosis associated with poor prognosis as well
as high mortality. An elevated level D-dimer and other fibrin degrading
protein are documented among the patients with COVID-19; especially in
severe cases. Differences in coagulopathy among severe and non-severe
cases, required prompt attention to adopt a more effective management
strategy.
