Filter by:COVID-19 infection causes a hypersensitive immune reaction and widespread inflammation in various organs of the body, especially through cytokines in the lungs. This cytokine-mediated widespread inflammation can also affect the parathyroid glands, resulting in impaired parathyroid secretion. Researchers evaluated the levels of parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection. Researchers excluded patients on intensive care therapy and patients with known parathyroid disease. The researchers examined the association of parathyroid hormone secretion with COVID-19 disease, white blood cells, neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio, C reactive protein, fibrinogen, procalcitonin, ferritin, and D-dimer in these patients. The researchers compared the parathyroid hormone level of healthy people without COVID-19 infection and known parathyroid disease with the parathyroid hormone level of Covid-19 patients.
