Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 is linked to high morbidity and mortality, prompting a study on biomarkers like galectin-3, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α to predict patient outcomes.
- The research involved 69 COVID-19 patients and 19 healthy controls, using ELISA tests to measure biomarker levels in their serum.
- Results showed that COVID-19 patients had higher Gal-3, IL-6, and TNF-α levels compared to healthy controls, with Gal-3 and IL-6 being particularly useful for assessing disease severity and predicting mortality in hospitalized patients.
