Effect of Covid-19 on kidney and Liver Functions
الملخص
COVID- 19 affects kidneys and liver, leading to abnormalities in kidney and liver function tests in severe cases. Understanding this interaction is crucial for effective medical care and managing the disease's health implications, with ongoing research and clinical observations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 infections and its link to kidney and liver function impairment by assessing certain enzymes and biochemical indicators in the blood of infected persons. 100 blood samples were collected, 50 from people infected with COVID-19, taken from the COVID-19 Hospital (Burns and Plastic Surgery Hospital/Duhok City and Lalav Hospital/Duhok City) who were diagnosed with the infection according to World Health Organization protocol, and 50-control group were taken from healthy university staff and healthy patient companions who are free of sickness. The results show that patients had significantly higher average in ALP, ALT and AST levels compared to control group, as well as higher average in urea, uric acid, serum creatinine, total serum bilirubin and Cystatin C levels compared to the control group.
