Non-Specific Laboratory Tests in Patients with COVID-19

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a high impact on diagnostic laboratory services recently. The current literature has focused on reviewing tests that are specifically related to the diagnosis of COVIDS-19 infection using either molecular testing or immunoassays detecting viral antigens or antibodies. In this short communication review, we aimed to summarize the most common non-specific laboratory tests that may be requested in patients with suspected COVID-19 infection to help in the assessment of different organs and other vital laboratory tests to avoid complications as a consequence of COVID-19 infection.
