Abstract
SARS CoV-2, which causes COVID-19 disease, is an enveloped RNA virus from the coronavirus family
that causes severe respiratory failure. The virus can be found in respiratory secretions of patients 1-2
days before the onset of clinical symptoms and two weeks after the onset of disease symptoms. In
addition, the presence of the virus was detected in whole blood, serum, urine and fecal samples. The
aim of this retrospective study is to show the complete urinalysis levels in Covid 19 patients.
The study included 30 individuals with COVID-19 and a control group of 30 people. Both groups were
selected from Gazi University Medical Faculty Hospital. Complete urinalysis parameters of the two
groups; Values such as pH, density, hemoglobin, leukocyte esterase, protein, glucose, ketone,
urobilinogen, bilirubin, nitrite, leukocyte, erythrocyte, squamous epithelium, renal epithelium were
analyzed retrospectively.
According to our research, the mean age of 30 COVID patients is 65,50 and the mean age of the control
group, which consists of 30 people, is 59,56. In our study, urobilinogen and erythrocyte levels were
found to be significantly different between COVID-19 patients and control group (p<0.05).
As a result, the COVID-19 epidemic continues to be an important problem all over the world and in our
country. Clinical and laboratory disorders of the digestive system and liver are not uncommon in
COVID-19 disease, the main site of involvement of which is respiratory tract and lung. There are studies
that report hematuria on urinalysis during SARS CoV-2 infection and find both proteinuria and
hematuria strongly associated with increased hospital mortality. Our study has limitations as it is
retrospective.
