“…CD8 cells are also found to contain a considerable number of cytotoxic granules. Neutrophil count, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin, creatinine, cardiac biomarkers, D-dimer, prothrombin time (PT), procalcitonin (because of bacterial superinfection; higher in ICU patients than the ones not in ICU), Creactive protein (CRP) are found to have elevated values whereas, lymphocyte count (hallmark) and albumin levels are decreased significantly [11].…”
