Alteration of lipid profile and value of lipids in the prediction of the length of hospital stay in COVID‐19 pneumonia patients

Abstract: The outbreak of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (causing coronavirus disease-2019; COVID-19) has spread to most countries in the world. COVID-19 infection results in diverse clinical outcomes, ranging from no symptoms to critically severe pneumonia with extrapulmonary manifestations (Guan et al., 2020; Huang et al., 2020). Lipids play numerous indispensable functions in lung biology and the pathophysiology of viral infection. Pulmonary surfactant is over 90% lipids and 10% protein by weight (Han & Mallampalli… Show more

“…Several studies have explored the alterations in lipid profile in the setting of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, reporting a state of hypolipidemia during active infection [ [1] , [2] , [3] ], with normalization after recovery [ 4 ]. These changes have been attributed to inflammation, liver dysfunction, increased vascular permeability [ 3 ] and, interestingly, the interplay between cholesterol and viral replication [ 5 ].…”

“…As expected, apolipoprotein A-I and B were also decreased ( 39 , 40 , 41 ). With recovery from COVID-19 infection the lipid levels return towards levels present prior to infection ( 28 , 29 , 30 , 42 , 43 ). As expected, the greater the severity of the illness the greater the reduction in LDL-C and/or HDL-C levels ( 29 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 38 , 42 , 44 , 45 ).…”

“…With recovery from COVID-19 infection the lipid levels return towards levels present prior to infection ( 28 , 29 , 30 , 42 , 43 ). As expected, the greater the severity of the illness the greater the reduction in LDL-C and/or HDL-C levels ( 29 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 38 , 42 , 44 , 45 ). LDL-C and HDL-C levels are inversely correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP) levels i.e., the higher the CRP levels the lower the LDL-C or HDL-C level ( 28 , 29 , 31 , 45 ).…”

“…The COVID-19 receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), is considered to be a chief receptor of the viral spike protein and is important for infection [20,21]. The ACE2 protein in the biliary system, colon and liver is present at high levels [22] and the RNA shedding is well known in the GI tract [23].…”
