1st-order laboratory parameters-obligatory laboratory tests.
- Small blood count
- Inflammatory parameters – CRP (C-reactive protein) or PCT (procalcitonin).
- Electrolytes – calcium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphate.
- Liver parameters – alanine aminotransferase (ALT, GPT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST, GOT), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (gamma-GT, GGT), alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin.
- LDH
- Renal parameters – urea, creatinine, cystatin C or creatinine clearance if necessary.
- Coagulation parameters – PTT, Quick
- Pathogen detection via sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, deep throat swab, nasopharyngeal aspirate, pharyngeal lavage, stool sample (two samples should be taken) – Pathogen detection by PCR, virus culture.
- Pathogen detection by serology (IF, ELISA, NT); ideally paired samples should be available here, but a single test may also be indicative
