| Abstract | This study investigated the association between COVID-19 infection and host metabolic signatures as prognostic markers for disease severity and mortality. We enrolled 82 patients with RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 infection who were classified as mild, moderate, or severe/critical based upon their WHO clinical severity score and compared their results with 31 healthy volunteers. Data on demographics, comorbidities and clinical/laboratory characteristics were obtained from medical records. Peripheral blood samples were collected at the time of clinical evaluation or admission and tested by quantitative mass spectrometry to characterize metabolic profiles using selected metabolites. The findings in COVID-19 (+) patients reveal changes in the concentrations of glutamate, valeryl-carnitine, and the ratios of Kynurenine/Tryptophan (Kyn/Trp) to Citrulline/Ornithine (Cit/Orn). The observed changes may serve as predictors of disease severity with a (Kyn/Trp)/(Cit/Orn) Receiver Operator Curve (ROC) AUC = 0.95. Additional metabolite measures further characterized those likely to develop severe complications of their disease, suggesting that underlying immune signatures (Kyn/Trp), glutaminolysis (Glutamate), urea cycle abnormalities (Cit/Orn) and alterations in organic acid metabolism (C5) can be applied to identify individuals at the highest risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 infection. We conclude that host metabolic factors, measured by plasma based biochemical signatures, could prove to be important determinants of Covid-19 severity with implications for prognosis, risk stratification and clinical management. |
