Table 2. Laboratory parameters related to cardiac, hepatic and renal function on the admission of patients diagnosed with COVID-19, according to the severity of the disease.

Each value of the table represents the mean, median –: not available; M: Male, F: Female; S: statistically significant difference between mild and severe cases N; S: non–significant difference between mild and severe cases (+): proteinuria or hematuria +, ++ o +++; **: upper BUN limit according to age <60, 60–80 and >80 years; for men it is 8.0, 9.5 and 8.3 mmol/L respectively, and for women 7.5, 8.8 and 8.3 mmol/L respectively. Other classifications: R: Recovered; D: Dead; NScr: Normal base serum creatinine; EScr: Elevated base serum creatinine; NLF: Normal liver function; ALF: Abnormal liver function; LI: Liver injury
