| Özet |
| COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is characterized by hyperinflammation, which can trigger oxidative stress. At the same time, COVID-19 is accompanied by both psychological and physical stress. Copeptin, a novel stress marker, has been shown to predict disease outcomes in stress-induced diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential of copeptin, with inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, in distinguishing between different clinical courses of COVID-19. This case-control study included 75 participants: 25 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU), 25 non-ICU COVID-19 patients, and 25 healthy individuals. 64 % of the ICU patients received corticosteroid treatment for 4-10 days before sampling. Serum concentrations of the study parameters were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared between the study groups. Serum IL-6 levels (p < 0.001) were significantly higher in ICU patients compared to non-ICU patients and the control group. Serum MDA (p < 0.001) and 4-HNE (p = 0.027) concentrations were significantly lower in the ICU group in comparison with the other groups. Copeptin was not statistically significant. MDA (p = 0.040) and 4-HNE (p = 0.017) levels were significantly lower in the treated ICU group than the untreated one. Serum IL-6 levels were noticeably associated with COVID-19 severity. Corticosteroid therapy administration seemed to influence MDA and 4-HNE levels in the treated group, with no obvious influence on IL-6 and copeptin in the same cohort. This data suggests that in SARS-CoV-2 infection, corticosteroids may act through a rapid non-genomic mechanism. |
