Four typical thromboelastogram (TEG) tracings of patients with COVID-19. Bold lines indicate urokinase kaolin-activated TEG (UK-TEG), fine lines indicate regular TEG. Patient 1 had a low response to urokinase (ie UK-TEG lysis at 30 minutes [LY30] < 64.9%). Patients 2, 3, and 4 had a normal response to urokinase (ie LY30 < 64.9%).
