Protein Electrophoresis as a Tool for Complications Prediction in COVID-19 Hospitalised Patients

The inflammation is central in COVID-19 infections. Our aim is to evaluate the clinical value of measuring inflammation by using serum protein electrophoresis (SPE). SPE evaluation of inflammation should be able to predict outcome, follow up evolution or treatment efficacy in patients with coronavirus infection and thus anticipate their evolution to severe viral infection and allow an optimal clinical management. SPE inflammation diagnostics will be benchmarked with other diagnostics of inflammation, currently used more routinely.
