Laboratory parameters of Covid-19 patients admitted to ICU or general ward (non ICU). Quantitative data were expressed as means ± standard deviation if normally distributed. For non-normally distributed variables, data are shown as medians with first and third quartiles. AP, alkaline phosphatase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; kPa, Kilopascal; CK, creatinine kinase; CRP, C-reactive protein; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase; Hb, hemoglobin; ICU, intensive care unit; IL-6, interleukin 6; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; mg/dl, milligrams/deciliter; µg/l, micrograms/liter; PCT, procalcitonin; U/l, Units/liter.
