Leukocytes, hemoglobin, platelets and D-Dimers in COVID-19 patients during hospitalization. Biological parameters at admission, Nadir/peak values and discharge in COVID-19 patients. Higher leukocyte count and D-Dimer levels were evidence at baseline in VTE patients as compared to non VTE patients. Similarly, higher D-Dimer peak and lower hemoglobin level at discharge were observed in VTE patients. Abbreviations: COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; VTE, venous thromboembolism.
