Elevated serum SDMA and ADMA at hospital admission predict in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients

Abstract COVID-19 is a disease with a variable clinical course ranging from mild symptoms to critical illness, organ failure, and death. Prospective biomarkers may help to predict the severity of an individual’s clinical course and mortality risk. We analyzed asymmetric (ADMA) and symmetric dimethyl...

Elevated serum SDMA and ADMA at hospital admission predict in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients
