Table 4. Laboratory finding of the mild cases (n=46) and the severe cases (n=26) of COVID-19 in this study. Note that not all the laboratory parameters were evaluated in all the patients. Laboratory results were presented as median (min-max) values.

C reactive protein (mg/L)*	Mild (n=44)	5.15 ( 1-126)	< 0.001
	Severe (n=26)	44 (2-435)
LDH (U/L)*	Mild (n=42)	203.5 (133-662)	0.014
	Severe (n=23)	243 (144-908)
ESR (mm/h)†	Mild (n=27)	25.7 + or - 15.0	0.001
	Severe (n=21)	58.4 + or - 38.3
Fibrinogen (mg/dL)*	Mild (n=14)	271(225-686)	0.041
	Severe (n=8)	521 (329-1,032)
Ferritin (ng/mL)*	Mild (n=41)	110 (7-1,157)	0.001
	Severe (n=21)	310 (40-7,256)
Procalcitonin (ng/mL)*	Mild (n=36)	0.05 (0.02-03)	0.02

D-dimer (ng/mL)*	Mild (n=42)	231.5 (73-2,323)	0.007
	Severe (n=22)	318 (044-3,001)
Troponin I (ng/mL)*	Mild (n=46)	0.10(0.1-0.9)	0.74
	Severe (n=26)	0.09(0.04-3.8)
