Summary

The purpose of the study is to recognize the diagnostic and/or prognostic value of IMA, as It reflects the degree of ischemia regardless of the affected organ.

Our sample, which will be taken from the Pulmonology/Covid-19 Department and the Outpatient Clinic of the Pulmonology Department of University Hospital of Larissa, will be divided into two groups. The first group will be the study group, which will include patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection, while the second group will be the control group, which will include healthy volunteers. From the study population will be collected demographics, medical history, medication, symptoms, vital points, arterial blood gases, viral load from RT-PCR for SARS-COV2 and findings from imaging and laboratory assessment. On a daily basis, during their treatment, their vital points, their laboratory tests and the presence of possible complications will be recorded.

Expected results are: 1) Comparison of IMA levels between COVID-19 patients and healthy volunteers, 2) The IMA contribution, during their admission to the hospital, to the prediction of the risk of deterioration and severe respiratory failure, 3) The increase of the predictive accuracy of SuPAR as a risk stratification biomarker, after its combination with IMA, 4) The estimation of IMA on the 10th day of illness in patients with severe respiratory failure, 5) The possibility of predicting with greater accuracy the probability of admission to the ICU, by measuring the IMA on the 10th day of illness compared to the IMA of admission.

Ischemia Modified Albumin

Blood sampling at admission for measurement of IMA and suPAR levels and at day 10 from symptom onset (peak of symptoms) for IMA level. Samples will be collected in blood collection tubes containing K2EDTA as anticoagulant and serum separation gel tubes for SuPAR and IMA assays respectively. The samples will be centrifuged (at 3000 x g for 10 minutes) within the first 3 hours of sampling. Then, both plasma and serum samples will be placed in Eppendorf tubes and stored at -80oC. IMA levels will be determined according to the principles of the ACB assay, using the commercially available "Ischemia Modified Albumin Assay Kit" method (Abbexa LTD, Cambridge, UK), on the Architect c8000 automatic analytical system (Abbott, USA). SuPAR levels will be determined by the suPARnostic TurbiLatex quantitative turbidimetric immunoassay (ViroGates A/S, Denmark), also on the Architect c8000 automatic analytical system.
