Abstract
Increased heme levels, anemia, and desaturation occur during infection. We aimed to compare the levels of heme, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), ferritin, and bilirubin in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients at different saturation levels. Heme and HO-1 enzyme levels significantly increased in the low SpO[SUB]2[/SUB] group, but further studies are required.
Keywords: COVID-19; Heme; Heme oxygenase-1; SARS-CoV-2.
