Abstract | Objective: We aimed to evaluate Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) as a possible biomarker in determining disease severity in patients with moderate and severe COVID-19. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included moderate or severe COVID-19 patients; critically ill patients who were followed up in the intensive care unit were not included. KL-6 level and routine laboratory test measurements were performed on the first day of admission. The patients were also categorized according to their hyperinflammatory state. Results: The study included 92 patients, 56 (61%) women. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) score was 2 in 52.2% of the patients and 3 in 47.8%. KL-6 levels did not significantly differ in disease severity (NIH score 2 vs. 3; Conclusion: There was no significant association between the serum KL-6 measured at admission and the severity of COVID-19. |
