Ferritin – The key model inflammatory marker in diabetic and non-diabetic COVID-19
Background: Diabetics exhibit elevated serum ferritin level when compared to non-diabetic counterpart, indicates impact of its association with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and disease progression. Ferritin is a key mediator of immune dysregulation through direct immunosuppression c...
