Correlation between Lactate Dehydrogenase Levels and Severity by Pulmonary Tomography in Patients with Sars-Cov-2
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 05
Abstract
Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LHD) concentration has been described as a biomarker to predict severe lung injury and severe hypoxemia in patients with ARDS. The aim of the study was to correlate lactate dehydrogenase concentrations with the tomographic severity index in SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia cases, considering lung CT as the gold standard for severity diagnosis in this population based on the presence of ground glass pattern and the score given in the segmental assessment. A total of 110 patients were included in the study, in the period from April to September 2020. From the results, a moderate correlation was obtained between serum LHD levels and severity score by pulmonary tomography, with an r=0.474 and p <0.0001; with a severity-associated serum LHD cut-off point of 396 mg /dl (p < 0.001, sensitivity 86.02%, specificity 75%, AUC 0.806). Serum DHL levels may be useful for predicting severity in patients with COVID pneumonia 19t.
