Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Knowing the severity of COVID-19 is important during a pandemic. Measurement of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) levels is a simple, quick, and widely available laboratory test in most health facilities. Lactate dehydrogenase levels change significantly in patients with tissue damage including COVID-19 disease. The purpose of this study was to analyze the LDH levels as a marker of the severity of COVID-19. The research method used was a cross-sectional approach using primary data from 70 suspected COVID-19 patients from June to July 2021 at Labuang Baji Hospital, Hasanuddin University Hospital, and Makassar City Hospital. Samples were grouped into mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19. The LDH levels at the time of hospital admission were measured using an Architect device. Chi-Square, Kruskal-Wallis, and ROC curve statistical tests were used to obtain the LDH value with a significant value of p<0.05. The sample consisted of 24 mild COVID-19, 23 moderate COVID-19, and 23 severe COVID-19. The LDH levels in mild COVID-19 were 101.00 U/L (74.00-156.00 U/L) significantly different from moderate COVID-19 was 143.00 U/L (126.00-253.00 U/L) and COVID-19 were 291.00 U/L (177.00-655.00 U/L) (p<0.001) and had a very strong positive correlation (r=0.914). The ROC curve showed that LDH had a sensitivity of 91.3%, specificity of 94.7% with the cut-off >250.5 U/L, NPV of 96.4%, PPV of 87.5%, and accuracy of 91.3%. LDH levels increase along with the increasing severity of COVID-19 caused by tissue damage due to increased inflammatory response. LDH can be used as a marker of COVID-19 severity.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) newborns face a risk of iron deficiency. Iron deficiency hinders growth, and motoric, and cognitive development. Newborns with LBW sometimes suffer from inflammation, which affects the commonly used iron measurements. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He) is considered a potential tool to measure iron profile because it measures functional iron, and it is not affected by inflammation. This study compared the Ret-He in LBW and normal birth weight newborns. This cross-sectional study was done retrospectively by observing and comparing the hematology data of newborns from November to December 2019. The difference in Ret-He level was assessed using a non-parametric test. Out of 70 newborns, 26 were normal and 44 were LBW. The proportion of LBW newborns with anemia was higher than the proportion of normal ones (29.6% vs 7.7%, p=0.03). The median value of Ret-He in LBW was lower compared to normal birth weight (32.6 vs 33.3 pg, p=0.09), however, the values were still within the normal limits. Five from 70 of these newborns' Ret-He levels were under the reference range (7.14%). There was found that CRP levels were higher in LBW newborns than normal ones (5.6% vs 5%, p=0.98). There was a positive correlation between Ret-He and the birth weight of the newborns (r= 0.34, p =<0.01). There was no significant difference in Ret-He levels of LBW compared to normal babies. Further research is needed with a larger sample size to better assess the association of Ret-He and iron profiles in newborns.

Abstract

Obesity is a condition of excess body fat mass with cardiometabolic complications. The levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) decrease in obesity because it is stored in adipose tissue compartments and is related to dyslipidemia conditions. A high triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio in obesity is related to dyslipidemia. Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) is one of the parameters indicating central obesity related to visceral fat distribution in dyslipidemia conditions. This study aimed to prove a correlation between TG/HDL-C ratio and VAI with 25(OH)D levels in obese females. Observational study with cross-sectional design in 66 female patients. HDL-C examinations and triglyceride using the enzymatic colorimetry method. The TG/HDL-C ratio was calculated by dividing TG by HDL. The equation obtained visceral adiposity index (WC/(36.58+(1.89xBMI)) x (TG/0.81) x (1.52/HDL). 25(OH)D examinations used the Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Immunoassay (ELFA) method. Relationship status used the spearman rank test (p<0.05). Median 25(OH) levels were 9.75 (8-18.6)ng/mL. There was a weak negative correlation between TG/HDL-C ratio with 25(OH)D levels in obese females (p=0.020; r= -0.287) and VAI with 25(OH)D in obese females (p=0.019; r= 0.287). There was a weak negative correlation between TG/HDL ratio and VAI with 25(OH)D in obese female patients.

Abstract

 C-peptide is part of the, which its amounts were equal to endogenous insulin secreted by pancreatic β cells. Carboplatin is one of the chemotherapy regimens that are widely used to treat gynecological malignancies. Carboplatin may cause the damage of β-islets of Langerhans, which may cause defects in insulin synthesis leading to secondary diabetes mellitus or other types of diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in C-peptide, (which reflects endogenous insulin levels) levels in patients with gynecologic malignancy who underwent carboplatin chemotherapy. This study was a comparative observational study with a cross-sectional design. There was a total of 42 subjects who met the inclusion criteria. Subjects with gynecological malignancy post-carboplatin chemotherapy regimens had lower serum C-peptide levels in group II compared to group I. Serum C-peptide levels can further be used to monitor side effects of carboplatin and can be used as a test to diagnose the other types of diabetes mellitus especially before starting the fourth cycle

Abstract

The value of D-dimer value, lactic acid levels, and the results of blood gas analysis (PaO2, PCO2, PH, and PaO2/FiO2) are prognostic factors for COVID-19 patients, although there is no agreement on the optimum cut-off point for specificity and sensitivity. The aim of this study is to examine D-dimer value, lactic acid levels, and the results of blood gas analysis as a prognosis for patients with severe or critical COVID-19. This was a retrospective study of the medical records of the UGM Academic Hospital. Overall survival was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier curve. Determination of the cut-off for D-dimer, lactic acid, and BGA variables was carried out using the ROC followed by calculating the Youden index. Then the hazard ratio was determined by Cox regression. The cut-off value to determine the group of patients on the D-dimer and lactic acid variable was 881 ng/mL (sensitivity 77.23%, specificity 32.31%) (p=0.040) and 21 ng/mL, patients with lactic acid values above the cut-off had a higher risk of death (p=0.391). The cut-off of pH, PaO2, and PaCO2 were 7.43, 72.2 mmHg, and 33.9, respectively. D-dimer levels, lactic acid, and PaCO2 values in blood gas analysis above the cut-off value had a worse survival rate, while patients also had a worse survival rate if the PaO2 and PH values were below the cut-off value.

Abstract

Obesity is an excessive fat accumulation due to an imbalance between energy intake and consumption. Central obesity, represented by an increase in Waist Circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio, is a predictor for obesity-related metabolic disorders and has replaced BMI to determine the clinical diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Lipid accumulation product calculated from WC and fasting triglyceride concentration is presumed to be an alternative to measure excessive lipid accumulation and a marker to predict diabetes or cardiovascular risk. Lipid accumulation product is related to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome and is preferable to BMI to identify diseases. It has been established that obesity and increased visceral adipocytes contribute to increased levels of some inflammatory proteins such as CRP. This study aimed to determine the correlation between LAP with FBG and CRP in obese females. This cross-sectional study involved female with obesity aged 35-50 years at Diponegoro National Hospital, Semarang, carried out from February to May 2021. Lipid accumulation product was calculated using LAP=(WC[cm]–58)×(TG[mmol/L]), TG and FBG levels were measured with the colorimetric enzymatic method, and CRP levels were analyzed with an immunoturbidimetric method using the chemical analyzer. The correlation between variables was analyzed using Pearson and Spearman correlation tests (p <0.05). CRP and FBG average levels were 3.546±2.6554 mg/dL and 83.1±11.363 mg/dL, respectively. There was a weak positive correlation between LAP with FBG (p=0.033; r=0.262) and LAP with CRP (p=0.04; r=0.251). Therefore, lipid accumulation products might influence FBG and CRP levels in the obese population

Abstract

COVID-19 is a new respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and became a pandemic in early 2020. Since the clinical presentation of this viral infection can mimic other types of viral infection (e.g., dengue, influenza, and another respiratory disease), the laboratory approach becomes essential, particularly at the early stages of infection. This case-literature review approach described an outpatient case of a 39-year-old male patient with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 who recovered after 49 days of self-quarantine. Lymphopenia and mild thrombocytopenia can be used as early screening for COVID-19 at the early stages of infection and mainly occur in outpatient settings. Meanwhile, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Count Ratio (NLCR), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and Liver Function Test (LFT) can be used for severity prediction and/or follow-up the outcome of the infected patient. Therefore, the integrated clinical-laboratory finding at the early stages of infection is vital to provide better and effective patient management.

Abstract

Sepsis is a clinical condition of potentially life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the host's response to infection. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of sepsis lead to worsening of the disease, which can lead to circulatory collapse, multiple organ failure, and death, therefore accurate and timely diagnosis can prevent death. Procalcitonin (PCT) is the most widely used, studied, and promising marker for the diagnosis of sepsis. Recent studies have shown that procalcitonin plays an important role in the clinical diagnosis of sepsis because it can differentiate sepsis from SIRS. Most studies found an increase in the Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) in septic patients, both neonates, and adults. The MPV value can be used as a parameter to assess the prognosis of septic patients. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 21 septic patients at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang from January 2020 to April 2021. Mean platelet volume values were determined using an automatic hematology analyzer based on the formula made by the device. Procalcitonin levels were measured using the enzym-linked immunofluorescent assay method. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test and p < 0.05 was significant. The mean age of the research subjects was 54 years and the range was 22-77 years. The number of male and female research subjects in this study was almost the same, consisting of 10 male (48%) and 11 female (52%) patients. The average MPV was 10.59(0.56) fL and the median procalcitonin was 9.35(2.08-200) ng/mL. Pearson correlation test showed that MPV was positively correlated with procalcitonin with moderate correlation (r=0.435, p=0.049). There was a moderate positive correlation between MPV and procalcitonin in septic patients.

Abstract

Any individual infected by COVID-19 can suffer various degrees of disease such as asymptomatic symptoms, mild, moderate or severe. Response to the antibody formation in the human body can be affected by the severity of COVID-19. Many researchers have stated that patients suffering a severe COVID-19 had a more significant antibody response, proven by higher antibody titers than those suffering mild or moderate severity. This research aimed to observe the different antibody responses in COVID-19 patients based on the severity of the disease. The research was a retrospective study with a cross-sectional design. The inclusion criteria were confirmed SARS-COV-2 patients determined by RT-PCR test results with age ≥18 years old and a complete medical record taken from electronic medical records and Laboratory Information System (LIS). This study involved 100 COVID-19 patients consisting of 51% non-severe and 49% severe COVID-19. Patients in the non-severe group had a relatively lower IgM and IgG antibody response than patients in the severe group. It could be th primarily observed at the time of antibody measurement > 15 day of symptoms onset (p<0.05).
