Mechanisms for Organ Dysfunction in Covid-19

Uppsala Intensive Care Study of Mechanisms for Organ Dysfunction in Covid-19

The study aims to investigate organ dysfunction and biomarkers in patients with suspected or verified COVID-19 during intensive care at Uppsala University Hospital.

Consenting patients with suspected or verified SARS-COV-2 infection, COVID-19, will undergo daily blood, urine and sputum sampling during their stay in intensive care. Data on organ dysfunction will be collected through the electronic patient journal and electronic patient data management system. The collected samples will be analysed for a panel of potential biomarkers that will be correlated to organ dysfunction and clinical outcome.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Admitted to intensive care
• suspected or verified COVID-19

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Under-age
