Abstract
The study aimed to Effect of COVID-19 infection on levels Haptoglobin and Beta trace protein and some of Biochemical parameters COVID-19. The study groups included 30 patient men infected with COVID-19, 30 men who recovered and 30 healthy men as a control group. Protein and biochemical assays include: Beta trace protein , Haptoglobin , LDH, AST , Na, Albumin , ferritin , Albumin / creatinine ratio (ACR) .The results showed a significant increase at (P ≥ 0.05) in levels of Beta trace Protein, haptoglobin, LDH, AST, and Na in infected patients compared to control and recovery groups, while infected men group showed a significant decrease in albumin and ferritin levels at (P≤ 0.05) compared to control and recovery groups, while recovery group showed a significant increase in levels of albumin/creatinine ratio compared to control and patient groups. While there was a substantial drop in the levels of haptoglobin, beta-trace protein, and LDH in the recovery group compared to the healthy group, the levels of AST and albumin did not differ significantly between the control and recovery groups.
