Abstract

Objective: Coagulopathy is one of dangerous symptoms found in critically ill coronavirus patients (COVID-19). Factor VII (proconvertin ) is one of coagulation factors that involve in coagulation cascade, although their relevance in COVID-19 is uncertain. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence and factorVII in COVID-19 patients Method: There were 80 patients admitted to the hospital. 40 of them were positive for COVID-19 infection by RT- PCR, whereas the other 40 were healthy controls. FVII levels were measured in both groups. Result: all patient showed higher levels FVII level in patients group (415.92±102.76) then in control group (341.72±33.54) conclusion: COVID-19 patients showed relatively elevated levels of FVII than healthy individuals this is probably gave a nearby clew to explain the process of thrombus formation.
